Speedy deletion nomination of Archie Sweeney

A tag has been placed on Archie Sweeney 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 admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Hold on There Private.

Woah! Hold up there private.

If you joined the army today, would they let you go into combat the same day?

>Sir, no sir!

You need to do some training first and see what is acceptable in this outfit.

First off, this is an encyclopedia. So, think about the encyclopedia that is located at your nearest library, and what is encyclopedic in nature and what is not. Now Wikipedia can expand that, but always keep this idea in the back of your head. Biographies of living people is especially touchy because of lawyers. They like to sue people for liable. So, err on the side of caution with living people.

So, lets go to the field manual:

• Help:Wikipedia: The Missing Manual/Editing, Creating, and Maintaining Articles/Creating a New Article
• Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons
• Wikipedia:Manual of style
• Wikipedia:External links
• Wikipedia:Citing sources

If a solider had rushed into combat the way you did here what would have happened?

Now, drop down and give me twenty,

Proposed deletion of Charles "Chuck" Tatum

The article Charles "Chuck" Tatum has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Eeekster (talk) 21:47, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
