A tag has been placed on Stuart ewen, 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 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. 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. Wikisolipsist 21:15, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I do think a page on Stuart Ewen should be available to the community. I've actually searched for more on him three times over the last year after encountering his name on three separate occasions.

The first was after seeing him speak on a PBS documentary called The Persuaders, which is referenced on Wikipedia under the entry of the name of the host of that show--Douglas Rushkoff. From the Douglas Rushkoff page I linked to the second instance of coming across Stuart Ewen's name.

This link brought me to a page on compliance professionals, which I found to be fascinating. When I tried learning more about Ewen from that page I was not able to because it did not exist.

The third time I came across Ewen's name was within a review of his book in the New York Times Review of Books earlier this year. One more time I tried learning more about him on Wikipedia, but no one had created one.

I don't take the fact that no one created one as a sign that one is not warranted. From what I can tell, he's contributed significantly to both media studies and media theory and these topics are already too limited on Wikipedia. I'd like to see this page kept for other members of the community that are interested in this topic.
