[edit] Contested Speedy Deletion

I only checked one website (here), but it indicates that the subject has hundreds of composition's to his credit, lectures internationally, and has received numerous awards including two Fulbrights. This would seem to establish enough notability to contra-indicate a Speedy delete. I would suggest giving the author some time to expand, then consider a standard AfD if the article still seems questionable. Doc Tropics 17:09, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

I reviewed it already and removed the CSD (since I placed it). The content that I saw at tagging was lacking any assertion of notability. Call me deletionist, but I like at least one line even on a brand new stub that says why the subject is notable. I doubt an AfD will be necessary at any point, but a few sources would be nice (although the Fulbright Awards are good too). Tagged unreferenced, moving on. -Cquan (talk, AMA Desk) 17:16, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
I had to chuckle when I saw that you had yanked the tag even before I added an explanation; Badagnani got busy adding the necessary "assertion of notability". Doc Tropics 17:20, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
Speed is key:-P. Also I just had my morning coffee, so I'm on overdrive right now, hehe. -Cquan (talk, AMA Desk) 17:24, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
IMO it's easier to produce a new page in about 10 edits rather than just one or two. Badagnani 17:30, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
One sentence saying why it's important...is that so much to ask? Anyway, things sorted themselves out, so it's all good. You're lucky I'm not a deletionist admin that just deletes things on sight:-P. -Cquan (talk, AMA Desk) 17:42, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
