Conflict of interest

Hi there. From this conversation, it appears Ranlyn Tilley Hill is a friend of yours. You might want to read WP:COI carefully before creating more articles about friends.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 14:06, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Nomination of Coalition for Fire Safe Communities for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Coalition for Fire Safe Communities is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Coalition for Fire Safe Communities until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 19:21, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Carl Schurtz

The article Carl Schurtz has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No reliable sources cited for this poorly-written, self-promotional autobiography.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
