Speedy deletion nomination of Struan Douglas

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 Struan Douglas 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.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. --sparkl_!sm ^hey! 12:31, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Struan Douglas

I've declined the speedy deletion, on the grounds that he was an international player. I've also added a tag basically saying that the article is a mess. (I believe in being kind and polite. One day, I might practise it too...) If you don't feel up to sorting it, get onto WP:SPORT and see if they can help. If you do want to, then look at other articles about similar people and work to their format. Don't just use the first one - that might be a mess too. Check a few out. Ask for help - once again SPORT should be able to help. Post something on the talk page there, or use {{helpme}} on the article talk page with your appeal for help. (Copy that off THIS page and paste it at the bottom with the question, not off the 'edit' page - I've no-wikied it on the 'edit' page so it doesn't blossom in the wrong place. It should produce a yellow box when you save.) Doing that puts an appeal out on admin pages, IRC and probably International Rescue frequencies too. Good luck.

I removed the address - we don't have those in articles. Counts as advertising. Peridon (talk) 15:12, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

I've cleaned up the article; added an infobox, persondata and DEFAULTSORT; referenced the citations correctly and stubsorted. Not sure if you have a Conflict of Interest, Rubstic, as your username is the same as the name of the horse... Please consider reading this and I very strongly recommend you read these: WP:MOS & WP:Cite. Osarius Talk 16:09, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
