The result was Speedy Delete. CSD A7, winning a school competition is not a credible assertion of notability. kingboyk 13:08, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Henry Wang

Almost a db-bio; I don't consider the assertion of notability here to meet WP:BIO. The policy-based deletion reason would be WP:NOT indiscriminate or WP:V (I'm not sure how many reliable secondary sources there would be about something like this). --ais523 11:19, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

WP:BIO is the elaboration of our policies that Wikipedia is not a memorial, a telephone book, or a genealogical database. Uncle G 12:50, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy delete as a very clear failure of WP:BIO and WP:VAIN. Checking the creator's edit history shows he is intent on self-promotion, creating the article The Garry Catalano Writing Competion (itself prodded as a non-notable school writing contest) of which he was a winner, and adding himself as a player for China's national football team (contradicting his assertion in this article that he is unsigned). I've nothing against a little self-esteem boosting, but Wikipedia is not the place to do it. ~Matticus ^T_C 11:29, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
