There seems to be no source for his being at Hymers College. How do you know this? I've removed it as unsourced. Are you connected with Mather in some way - friend, colleague, family? If so, please read WP:COI. Pam D 18:13, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on St Hugh's Boat Club requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/St Hugh's Boat Club. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/St Hugh's Boat Club (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Thanks for contributing to the article
David Pepper (intelligence official). However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be
verifiable through
reliable sources, preferably using
inline citations. Please help by adding more sources to the article you edited, and/or by clarifying how the sources already given support the claims (see
here for how to do inline referencing). If you need further help, you can look at
Help:Menu/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the
Teahouse, or just ask me. Thank you.

Hello, I'm
Nagol0929. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article,
Gagan Mohindra, but you didn't provide a
reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to
include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at
referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. Thank you.

Hello, Oxonwiki. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Peter Cardwell".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 22:57, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Oxonwiki", may not comply with our
username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually (not your role), such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".
Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. Alternatively, you can just create a new account and use that for editing. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Do you have any connection with Oxford University? While we welcome editors who want to improve coverage of an institution, a better username might be JaneSmithAtOxford or similar. In addition, COIs must be disclosed. — Ganesha811 ( talk) 16:51, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
