Notability of Jeff Novak

A tag has been placed on Jeff Novak, 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 notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing 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 its subject's notability under the 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. SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 22:51, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Spiel! Yes, unfortunately, the article has been deleted. Speedy deletions are like that :) What you'll want to do is create the article again - but before you do, take a look at the biography guidelines and the notability guidelines. In this case, make sure to mention his being "the first to successfully sue an NFL team for damages" - that will assert notability. If you can include a reference to a web page or print article that discusses that fact, you'll be sure to escape the speedy deletion process. Hope that helps, and I hope you're not discouraged by the process. There are thousands of NFL players, so Wikipedia tries to ensure that only the ones that are actually notable are included in the encyclopedia. If you have any further questions (about Wikipedia - I know nothing about football ;), feel free to leave me a message. And welcome to Wikipedia! -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 04:03, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
