A tag has been placed on Mark Paterson, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Hut 8.5 17:39, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Mark Paterson, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you feel that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from articles that you have created yourself, as you did with Mark Paterson. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You have already removed 2 successive notices. Doing this will not prevent the article from being deleted
- For the record, the hangon notice you did place is in my opinion a unreasonable request, for the article is NN to the point of utter absurdity.DGG 00:42, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article List of warrior archetypes that can be used online, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

I was told to remove the deletion template if I wanted to express my view on why it shouldn't be. But I may aswell let it get deleted, nothing else dosen't. TheRedStar 17:33, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
Greco-Persian invasion
editHi TheRedStar, I was fact-checking the movie "300" against what's said in Wikipedia and found the following notice in Carnea and found the following sentence:
Leonidas ignored the words of the Spartan Ephors and went to battle, against the belief that he should wait until after the Carnea.(Herodotus vii. 206)
This seems to have originated in this diff of yours: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Carnea&diff=prev&oldid=118062160
Do you have any basis for that claim? The way you've phrased it seems to say it's mentioned by Herodotus (VII/206) but this does not support these facts:
[7.206] The force with Leonidas was sent forward by the Spartans in advance of their main body, that the sight of them might encourage the allies to fight, and hinder them from going over to the Medes, as it was likely they might have done had they seen that Sparta was backward. They intended presently, when they had celebrated the Carneian festival, which was what now kept them at home, to leave a garrison in Sparta, and hasten in full force to join the army. The rest of the allies also intended to act similarly; for it happened that the Olympic festival fell exactly at this same period. None of them looked to see the contest at Thermopylae decided so speedily; wherefore they were content to send forward a mere advanced guard. Such accordingly were the intentions of the allies.
Do you have another source for this?
Since this seems unlikely I'll restore the original text. Please revert my edit if you have another source.
