Speedy deletion nomination of Stein Ericksen

A tag has been placed on Stein Ericksen requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles – see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Milton (Outer Hebrides)

Hi, G24845. Please add a reliable reference for this island. I have not found it listed in any gazetteer for Scotland. Thanks. — CactusWriter ^(talk) 23:27, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Unfortunately, you added a source to Mount Orizaba. It is the Milton (Outer Hebrides) article. which still requires a source. I did not find that island listed in any gazetteer for Scotland. Can you supply a reliable source? — CactusWriter ^(talk) 05:33, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

It appears that Milton is not an island, but rather is noted as a famous farm site. I have added 2 references to the entry. — CactusWriter ^(talk) 17:28, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
