Jeff Bates (Slashdot)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Jeff Bates (Slashdot), and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://web.sourceforge.com/company/mgmt_jeff_bates.php. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 17:38, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Jeff Bates (Slashdot)

A tag has been placed on Jeff Bates (Slashdot) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Paste (talk) 17:43, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You should consider working this page up in your userspace before moving it into the mainspace. This can be done by editing the page User:Dtabraha or User:Dtabraha/Jeff Bates (Slashdot). Let me know if you have any questions. xenocidic (talk) 17:46, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Jeff Bates - Thanks

You're welcome! I was as stunned as you that no one had created an article for him yet. Thogh to be fair, it does seems surprisingly hard to track down citable sources for much of his bio data (birth date, etc.). Hqb (talk) 17:39, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of This too shall pass

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article This too shall pass, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? BradV 19:03, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
