From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Please do not tag articles for speedy deletion if they meet Wikipedia's Notability Guideline. I started to tag the John T. Reed article myself and did a quick Google search. The fact is, there are press articles to document his notability, so the article stays, like it or not. Those references are at the bottom of the article page. --A.

[edit] Please, do not keep tagging John T. Reed for speedy deletion

Hi. I see you tagged the John T. Reed article for speedy deletion a second time. Please don't do this.

Please read the following closely:
1. The Notability Guideline for People, in particular:

• "Please see criteria for speedy deletion for policy on speedy deletion. The fact that an article doesn't meet guidelines on this page, does not necessarily mean it qualifies for speedy deletion, as a mere claim of notability (even if contested) may avoid deletion under criterion A7 (Unremarkable people or groups). However, an AfD nomination may result in deletion, on consensus, after a 5 day debate."

"In general, an article's text should include enough information to explain why the person is notable, and such information should be verifiable."'

• "Notability on Wikipedia for people is based on the following criterion:"
  • "The person has been a primary subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the person."
    • "This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, magazine articles, books, scholarly papers, and television documentaries except for the following:"
      • "Works carrying merely trivial coverage, such as newspaper articles that just mention the person in passing, telephone directory listings, or simple records of births and deaths."

2. The Speedy Deletion Policy
3. The guideline, "Do Not Disrupt Wikipedia to Illustrate a Point"

I invite you to join the discussion I've started on the Administrators' Noticeboard for Incidents.
