[edit] Notability of Don Mare
A tag has been placed on Don Mare requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Davidovic 07:04, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
- Please note that {{hangon}} notices should be placed on the article itself. Regards, пﮟოьεԻ 57 23:17, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] October 2007
Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles that you have created yourself, as you did with Don Mare. If you do not believe the article should be deleted, then please place {{hangon}} on the page (please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag) and make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. I'm on your side here, but you need to work within the system. jonny-mt(t)(c) 07:08, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
