Hello. A tag has been placed on Paul Stanton (Politician) 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 credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

I just noticed that you started working on a Larry Sharpe article after I did. I created one here: User:AMK152/Larry Sharpe (politician). I moved it to main space but then back to user space when I saw that you created one. We should work together on this. I have a few sources listed in the draft I created. Did you get the idea to start a draft from the Facebook group? I see the message there has been deleted. You can find me on Facebook here. — AMK152 (t • c) 01:26, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
