AfC notification: Draft:Reginald Brown has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Reginald Brown. Thanks! BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:03, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

• Is the Reginald Brown you're trying to write about the same one mentioned here? BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:06, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

  YES Downtown08 (talk) 21:22, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

  In that case, Brown is definitely deserving of an article and I'll try to work on it and get it published soon – although I'll note that it will look much different when published, as the current tone is not appropriate for a Wikipedia article. BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:50, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Reginald Brown

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.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Reginald Brown, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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.

• Note that I removed the speedy deletion tag and substantially improved the article; it is now published and can be viewed at Reggie Brown (wide receiver, born 1970). BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:47, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
