Your contributed article, Madeleine v finnegan

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.

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Madeleine v finnegan. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Madeleine finnegan. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Madeleine finnegan - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Physics is all gnomes (talk) 22:03, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Madeleine finnegan

The article Madeleine finnegan has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Hi and an explanation

Hi and welcome, sorry to hit you with a wall of deletion notices. As your article was posted twice I've tagged one version for deletion. The other version has a "PROD" notice, meaning that it needs to reference some reliable, independant sources for its information or it will be deleted in 10 days. This is because we have a strict policy on biographies of living people- if we don't insist on material being referenced then other editors could add unreliable information, which could be damaging to the subject of the biography. If you can find any such sources, ie. coverage of Finnegan in books, newspapers, magazines or reliable websites, please add references to the article.

Let me know (by clicking on talk in my signature) if you have any questions. --Physics is all gnomes (talk) 22:23, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
