:::The final deletion was made because Ted-m replaced the content of the article with the text <nowiki>#REDIRECT [[J Edwin Orr]]</nowiki> apparently under the impression that this was the same as moving the article, but it isn't. The result was to create a redirect to a nonexistent page--[[J Edwin Orr]] was never created. Redirects to nonexistent pages are legitimate "speedy deletions."

:::If the article had, say: given the titles of Orr's books; and mentioned a single source, such as a print biography, for the facts in the article; or quoted a reasonable published source giving the title of one of Orr's hymns and a comment about its being familiar or beloved or anything like that, I don't think it would have been deleted.
