[edit] Notability of Frank Gasperik

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Frank Gasperik requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Frank Gasperik 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.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Frank Gasperik, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Frank Gasperik itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 05:33, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

The article was speedied by a sockpuppet who was soon after banned for disruptive activity. That doesn't mean that the tagging was wrong, but the non-notability claim has been disputed and the article restored. I feel that sufficient notability given his influence on Niven and Pournelle has been established. — PhilHibbs | talk 11:06, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] April 2008

Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to The Mote in God's Eye, as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.' Thank you. --EEMIV (talk) 03:39, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
