Proposed deletion of James W. Allen

The article James W. Allen has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This person doesn't appear to meet the criteria for inclusion in WP:BIO and WP:WINEMAKER. Seems to have local coverage only. Competition seems to be a non-notable event with local entries rather than international. This seems like a memorial article; see the policy WP:NOTMEMORIAL.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ~Amatulić (talk) 17:20, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not vandalize pages, as you did with this edit to James W. Allen. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. L Kensington (talk • contribs) 04:00, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you want this article to be kept, it would serve you better to present an argument for keeping it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/James W. Allen rather than continuing to delete the AfD template from the article, which will get you blocked. The deletion discussion will not go away because you remove the template from the article. Consider this your final warning. ~Amatulić (talk) 16:19, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing, for a period of One Week, for Disruptive Editing; removing deletion tags from James W. Allen and ignoring repeated warnings. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal the block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

Your addition to User:Martinaguilera has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you want this article preserved in your user space, putting it on your main user page isn't the right way to go. You can create a sub-page, such as User:Martinaguilera/James W. Allen and put it there. Let me know if you want help with this. ~Amatulić (talk) 16:53, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
