Hi, thanks for creating the Edmund G. Love article, great job! I was thinking about creating it myself but you beat me to it. I've read three of his books (The Situation in Flushing, Hanging On, and War is a Private Affair; Subways Are for Sleeping is next on my list.) I've visited his grave and added a picture of it as well as a photo of him from the back of Hanging On to his Find a Grave page. Feel free to use them in the article.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}

Hello Thriley,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Fredrik deBoer for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.
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. Thanks!

Hi, thanks for creating the Edmund G. Love article, great job! I was thinking about creating it myself but you beat me to it. I've read three of his books (The Situation in Flushing, Hanging On, and War is a Private Affair; Subways Are for Sleeping is next on my list.) I've visited his grave and added a picture of it as well as a photo of him from the back of Hanging On to his Find a Grave page. Feel free to use them in the article.

An article you recently created,
Jeff Hale, may be notable but this is not yet established in the entry. It needs more citations from
reliable,
independent sources, perhaps giving some description of his work or any awards he has won? I've moved your draft to
draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's
general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

An article you recently created,
J.P. Love, right now relies on two sources, each only three paragraphs. It’s not yet clear that a full accounting of his life can be written from this brief material—are there others available? For the purposes of continuing to look, I've moved your draft to

The article Sergio Esquivel has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
No meaningful content
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Hello Thriley,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Fredrik deBoer for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.
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. Thanks!
