What information is useful or interesting on this page? I know what I think but what answers the question from other WIkipedians?
Also, I submitted a change to an article about a common Linux tool. It was undone minutes later, then emailed the tool maintainer to ask them to help for a moment. ( I thought they would reply; didn't mean to intrude). They did not reply to me email but did respond by adding a section that clarified things. So, cool. I'm wondering what happened to the article history because I could not see where it reflects any of what I just wrote. Can somesome tell me?
The article Wabigama has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{
dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{
dated prod}}
will stop the
Proposed Deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. The
Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion. --

I mentioned in my question that deletion of the Wabigama article was not the reason for the question. The question asks why I wasn't able to find a reason the deletion template being added. However, I removed the deleteion template after findung information suitable for creationg stubs of the founders. When viewing the article about another club (whose name I do not recall), including of it as an article seemed to be based on the notariety of its founders. This is the reason the article in question was created.
I have nominated Wabigama, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wabigama. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. -- PhantomSteve ( Contact Me, My Contribs) 16:32, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
I do not feel that creating 3 articles (all unreferenced) and removing the PROD is sufficient.
You have not added any references to reliable sources, and cited these in the article.
You need to leave a message at the Article for Deletion discussion shown above explaining why the article meets Wikipedia's Notability Guidelines, and hence why it should not be deleted.
I strongly advise that you do leave a message here explaining why the article should not be deleted.
If you have any further questions, just contact me.
Incidently, I would suggest that you don't use the argument "I saw another article whose existence was based on the notability of its founders" without at least mentioning the other article - and in general, just because its been done in another article (for which I expect the founding members had established articles for themselves before the club article was created) does not mean it should be done for this article (see the essay "Other stuff exists").

I have tidied up the above article a little bit. I couldn't find any reference to Chester Carlson's book, or the obituary - but have inserted a reference to the only book by Chester Carlson that I could find - although I do not have access to this, so can't confirm that Crout is mentioned. The information mentioned about Crout in the Chester Carlson article does not give a citation about the mention of Crout, so I couldn't use that!
If you have information about the obituary (such as the newspaper it appeared in, the date, pages, etc) then this could be added to the article.
Incidently, looking at the book Copies in Seconds: How a Lone Inventor and an Unknown Company Created the Biggest Communication Breakthrough Since Gutenberg--Chester Carlson and the Birth of the Xerox Machine by David Owen doesn't list Crout in its index (you can see the index at the Amazon 'Search Inside' facility at Amazon's entry, so I was unable to cite that.
Regards, -- PhantomSteve ( Contact Me, My Contribs) 12:42, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
I have quickly tidied it up, and removed the citation present - the article in question does not mention that Dragstedt discovered Histamine, and other references showed that he discovered the role of Histamine in Anaphylaxis. I have added a couple of references for the article. -- PhantomSteve ( Contact Me, My Contribs) 13:16, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Here is someone who is very notable - I'm surprised that there wasn't an article about him before you created it. I have expanded the article a bit, giving quite a few citations from very reliable sources (New York Times, Time Magazine (the one you had there, just tidied up), Chicago Tribune, etc).
I have also added information from the National Academy of Sciences' Biographical Memoir about him - there is a lot of information on there which can be used to expand the article further - we just have to be careful not to just copy it, the core information needs to be extracted and written in our own words!
I can't imagine that anyone would ever consider this for deletion, even though it is far from complete - there are too many citations from reliable sources, too much information about him... this is the kind of article which works as a basis for a fully-fledged article.
Thanks for creating this article - it is one about someone I hadn't heard of, but someone who is certainly notable, not just for the Siamese Twins seperation, but also for all the other research he did, and the techniques he developed. -- PhantomSteve ( Contact Me, My Contribs) 15:22, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

As a member of the Aviation WikiProject or one of its subprojects, you may be interested in testing your skills in the Aviation Contest! I created this contest, not to pit editor against editor, but to promote article improvement and project participation and camraderie. Hopefully you will agree with its usefulness. Sign up here, read up on the rules here, and discuss the contest here. The first round of the contest has already started, but a new round begins each month, and points are cumulative so you can easily catch up. Since this contest is just beginning, please give feedback here, or let me know what you think on my talkpage. - Trevor MacInnis contribs 01:12, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
Hello. 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. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address 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) 16:44, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.
Thank you.
A tag has been placed on John Crout requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. The article at this moment does not establish a claim of notability. Who is he? Why is he important?

Thanks for uploading File:Memorial service set for ex-Battelle executive.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. -- ImageTaggingBot ( talk) 07:05, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Memorial service set for ex-Battelle executive.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
