[edit] Notability of Jim Lewis, Ponzi scheme

A tag has been placed on Jim Lewis, Ponzi scheme, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems 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 Wikipedia. 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 feel that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. 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. 72.75.73.158 20:11, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding the article Norm Boaz

I have deleted the article Norm Boaz, not because I do not believe it to be true, but because it does not provide references to support the statements it makes. Articles about people should conform to the policy Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons which can be summarised as:

Wikipedia articles that present material about living people can affect subjects' lives. Biographical material must be written with the greatest care and attention to verifiability, neutrality and avoiding original research, particularly if it is contentious.

It is very important that this is adhered to. Adambro 20:57, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] December 2007

Please do not delete content from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Homosexuality, without explaining the reason for the removal in the edit summary. Unexplained removal of content does not appear constructive, and your edit has been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox for test edits.
