I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Peter Busby requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

  • I understand you are part of a Wiki Education program, but if you are creating an article please make sure there is initial content for said article. The A3 tag will be removed if you add content to the page; if it is deleted, simply recreate the article with content. Kirbanzo (userpage - talk - contribs) 17:16, 26 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Notes

edit

Hi! I wanted to give you a quick note about the draft - it looks like you have a lot of primary sources, by which I mean that you're using sourcing that was created by Busby, his workplace(s), or people affiliated with him. These can be used to back up basic details but can't establish notability. You need to have things like news articles written about him, however you can use links to awards websites. Just keep in mind that the awards can really only give notability if they're seen as notable/major awards. Also, keep in mind that notability isn't automatically inherited by him being associated with notable businesses - we need to show that he's independently notable of them.

Marking something as a GA

edit

Hi- I saw that you added the Good Article tag to the page on Busby, however this should only be added if the article has gone through the Good Article nomination process. In this process the article is heavily reviewed to make sure that it passes all of the necessary guidelines. It signifies that the article is one of the strongest on Wikipedia.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:People busby-peter 01-1410x818.jpg

edit
 

A tag has been placed on File:People busby-peter 01-1410x818.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
