AfD nomination of V. M. Johnson
An editor has nominated V. M. Johnson, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also " What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/V. M. Johnson and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.

Speedy deletion of Bootblack
A tag has been placed on Bootblack, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:
Under the
criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please
see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{
hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on
the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the 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. Charles 04:59, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- I have removed the speedy delete tag, and added some wiki-linkjs but this article has soem major problems. First of all it cits no references or sources, and some of it sounds like Original Research. Much of it needs to have a more neutral and encyclopedic tone. Please fix this article up promptly, or it is very likely to be nominated for deletion and then deleted. If you need help with the wiki formatting or other technical issues, feel free to ask, but reliable sources are needed. DES (talk) 17:47, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
