reply: RE: "Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted." I created a page???
Note: The page I created wasn't a "test." It was apparently flagged and removed before I was even aware of its having been subject to speedy deletion. As soon as I read that it was, I posted reasons why it ought to be maintained as a stub page. Now, I'd like to appeal the page's removal and have it restored. There was a valid and reasonable ground for the creation of a page for "Thomas Whitfield Baldwin" and the ground remains worthy today. Wikipedia should be a place where readers find not only articles about things which are widely-known but also about topics (and people) which are (undeservedly) little known.

Speedy deletion nomination of Thomas Whitfield Baldwin
Hello Proximity1,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Thomas Whitfield Baldwin 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.

- Hi. There's no reason to email another editor for a simple matter like this. Please read WP:GNG and WP:SCHOLAR. His cite count would not come close to passing Scholar, although he did have a single book with a decent cite count. When you post a very short stub, with little or no referencing, it most likely will be removed. After you read the two above policies/guidelines, and feel that Baldwin meets or surpasses those criteria, contact the admin who deleted the article and ask him to restore it, and then you can work on it. I'm not an admin, so I can't do that. Onel5969 TT me 12:12, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
