Welcome!

Speedy deletion of Joshua Mack

A tag has been placed on Joshua Mack 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.

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), coupled with adding a note on the 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you. —Snigbrook 12:47, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not a campaign location

Wikipedia is not a campaign site, and articles for candidates are normally deleted. That process has begun at WP:Articles for deletion/Joshua Mack. Please feel free to comment there, but, if the article is deleted as a result of the discussion, please respect that decision and don't recreate it. Also, do not attempt to circumvent the editing process by recreating your preferred content on the talk page ... I've removed that material.—Kww(talk) 15:49, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
