Speedy deletion nomination of Joseph Roos edit

Hello Ungathering,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Joseph Roos for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.
