[edit] Speedy deletion of MAJ Douglas Leonard

A tag has been placed on MAJ Douglas Leonard 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 (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.

I have speedy deleted this page as I don't see how this person is notable and your comments on the talk page indicate that you are also unable to find references which prove notability. If you feel that Maj. Leonard is notable I would suggest that you develop the article on your user page and discuss it at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history before re-adding it to the encyclopedia proper. --Nick Dowling (talk) 07:21, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
