==[[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] of [[Temperance Flowerdew]]==
[[Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|48px|]]

The article [[Temperance Flowerdew]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32; because of the following concern:
:'''Nothing in this article asserts the subject;s notability, nor are there any references easily available that verify any (so far unasserted) notability. I've chosen this proposed deletion route to give the article a decent chance for notability to be asserted and verified. The only online reference did not mention TF directly so far as I could tell.'''

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the <code>{{tl|dated prod}}</code> notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Temperance Flowerdew|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing <code>{{tl|dated prod}}</code> will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist.  The [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion process]] can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:PRODWarning --> [[User:Timtrent|Fiddle Faddle]] ([[User talk:Timtrent|talk]]) 19:36, 10 July 2010 (UTC)



Hmmm... It is odd that you would say that the "online references" did not list Temperance Flowerdew.  At the time you made that statement, I only had PRINT references listed, so I do not know to what "online references" you might have been referring.  

I have since added some online references that DO reference Temperance Flowerdew and will continue to improve the article, however her marriage to two Virginia Governor's is certainly noteworthy, as was her survival of the "starving times" and her voyage to Jamestown. Marrying a governor does not make her notable.

:Actually, neither of those, even put together, qualify her as '''notable'''. Please read [[WP:NOTABILITY]]. All the article does is talks about some long dead woman who survived a sea crossing. You need to find and assert her true notability. That she existed does not make her notable. [[User:Timtrent|Fiddle Faddle]] ([[User talk:Timtrent|talk]]) 06:50, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

== Temperance Flowerdew ==

Nothing, so far, shows that TF was anything other than some woman who lived at the time. Please make the article say why she is notable. [[User:Timtrent|Fiddle Faddle]] ([[User talk:Timtrent|talk]]) 19:46, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

== signing your posts ==

As a courtesy to other editors, it is a Wikipedia guideline to [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|sign]] your posts on [[Help:Talk page|talk page]]s, [[Help:Talk_page#User_talk_pages|user talk page]]s, and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProject]] pages. To do so, simply add four [[tilde]]s (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) at the end of your comments. Your user name or IP address (if you are not logged in) and the date will then be automatically added along with a [[timestamp]] when you save your comment. Signing your comments helps people to find out who said something and provides them with a link to your user/talk page (for further discussion). For further info, read [[Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines]]. Thank you. [[User:Timtrent|Fiddle Faddle]] ([[User talk:Timtrent|talk]]) 06:52, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Some comments: I think she was notable enough to have the article. The fact that she is the namesake for a current historical feature alone passes that basic test, IMHO. I like articles that flow chronologically, and you could improve on that. You could use more dates, which also might lead you in the direction I juts mentioned. All in all, I think it is fairly neutral in the presentation. I believe that the simple fact is that the English settlers  really screwed the Powhatan people, but you haven't done anything to present that unfairly. You can improve the article (I took the liberty of a few minor changes) but it seems well-referenced for the average and better than the average Wikipedia article. Within my perosnal style, which i think is Wikipedia compliant, I like to italize the first instance (only) that we mention the name of a ship or publication, do not care for extra spaces (such as you have used between paragraphs) and I highly recommend the free and easy ieSpell program which has saved me from spelling errors a bunch of times. 

I don't focus on Good or Featured Article goals anymore, so if that is the criteria upon which you have been getting some criticism, I can't help much in those areas. Bets wishes. [[User:Vaoverland|Vaoverland]] ([[User talk:Vaoverland|talk]]) 00:24, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

==Copyright==
It is almost never suitable to copy content from another web site to Wikipedia, for more than one reason, the most important being copyright. When you post anything to Wikipedia you release it for anyone in the world to reuse it, either unchanged or modified in any way whatever, subject to attribution to Wikipedia. It is very rare that the owner of a web site licenses content for such very free reuse, and in those few occasions when they do so, we require proof of the fact. We don't assume that content is freely licensed on the unsubstantiated say so of just anyone who comes along and creates a Wikipedia account. For that reason the page you created about Tom Roberts has been deleted.  [[User:JBW|JBW]] ([[User talk:JBW|talk]]) 10:25, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

:Hi, @[[user:Bskaat|Bskaat]], I accepted this article because you seem to have done a lot of additional sourcing since it was put back to draft, and he does seem to me to be notable. But more sourcing yet would be very helpful. I would like to see something about him in a big national newspaper. By the way, did you realize that footnotes 3 and 4 are identical, and are a dead link? --[[User:Doric Loon|Doric Loon]] ([[User talk:Doric Loon|talk]]) 21:14, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
