[edit] The Dingo

The article The Dingo has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it did 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 indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:17, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

You need to do a lot more research, and to cite independent sources if you want to keep your article on "The Dingo". He is probably on the borderline of notability, so thorough research will be necessary. (You haven't even included his middle name - Nathan). Remember, lots of independent sources, not his own publicity. Best wishes. dbfirs 08:03, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of The Dingo

A tag has been placed on The Dingo requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), 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 indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. 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. — Dædαlus^{→quick link} / Improve 09:14, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

In regards to your message to my talk page, if you bothered to read the above warning, you would see why your article was deleted. Secondly, works-in-progress don't fly well in the wiki, I would suggest you create the article in your userspace, and work on it there. In regards to your message to Gogo agout Danny Kass, the reason the changes were reverted is because there was no verifiable source for said changes. You need a publication stating such is true, as word on the internet is not always believable. You're telling us you're right there with him? You could be lying, you could not. We don't know. That is why wikipedia operates on verifiability.— Dædαlus^{→quick link} / Improve 20:31, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Danny Kass

Re your message: I reverted the change because you did not indicate why the change was being made. Before you continue to edit Wikipedia, I recommend that you first review the conflict of interest guideline. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 00:04, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Re your message: If you look at the article history, you will see that I did not undo your last change. After locating a source for where he was born, I corrected the entry and made the necessary citation. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 20:42, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
