Welcome!

Hello, Epchdc, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Speedy deletion nomination of Doris Crump Bradshaw

Hello Epchdc,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Doris Crump Bradshaw for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

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. R. A. Simmons ^Talk 19:14, 8 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion

I've noticed that you've been creating a lot of articles that don't make credible claims of significance about their subjects, and may be speedily deleted. If you would like to compile sources and information on these subjects without your articles being deleted, you may want to try editing in your sandbox. R. A. Simmons ^Talk 19:19, 8 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've formally warned rasimmons to look at the deletion policy carefully again or risk facing sanctions for disruption. Basically, we keep articles unless we are sure they cannot reasonably be improved to any decent standard by any normal editor. I have expanded Anita Lyons Bond with a news source that shows she was the first black honours graduate of a major university, which immediately disqualifies it from the speedy deletion criteria.

Proposed deletion of Irene S. Taylor

Hello, Epchdc. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Irene S. Taylor, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

edit the page
remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.
