I hadnt been taking much notice of this thread, but in my irregular series on Victorian philanthropists I got around to [[Sydney Waterlow]] and happened to notice some deleted edits. Someone had only a few months ago linked a URL of a biography to an article that was redlinked from a few places (and possibly in requested encyclopaedic articles for all I know, given the date not unlikely to be in Brittanica 1911 though I havent checked). This was speedied shortly after. I think this wasnt a good decision really - whoever speedied it could have written a stub in a few minutes from the information in the link. The link stuck in by an anon IP seems more like a cry for help ("please write about this") than a speedy candidate.
