Speedy deletion of Peter Mahon (US Teacher)

A tag has been placed on Peter Mahon (US Teacher) 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 notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to La Plata High School, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. guyzero | talk 16:51, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to La Plata High School. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add your original reference to the article. Contact me if you need assistance adding references. Thank you.

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. Onorem♠Dil 19:02, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

How about you make La Plata High School into a decent article?

It is considered a disruption to add vanity material, fictional material and uncited material after being asked to stop. Please do not continue, but please do add verifiable information that will be useful and its likely you know where to find such information. Thanks David D. (Talk) 19:06, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

The article is entirely about the school, and the picture of the school is vanity? Why is it bad for the school's article to be expansive and informing? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheSilentJanks (talk • contribs)

Your information is not much use if you can't verify it. How about you start with the SWAT story. Get a source and it can stay. David D. (Talk) 19:09, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

We'll be providing sources very soon for that and everything else. The picture shouldn't require a source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheSilentJanks (talk • contribs)

It has to be notable too. John Childers' class is not. May well be the same with the SWAT story. Also can sign your posts with ~~~~ otherwise it is hard to keep track of your comments. David D. (Talk) 19:21, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Founding date

I found a source for the school being founded in 1927. Is the picture you uploaded with the barbed wire the old school building? If you can find decent references the will end up being a good article. David D. (Talk) 19:37, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

I just added some more sourced material. Hopefully you can build it up from there. David D. (Talk) 21:07, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 19:07, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
