From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thank you for your contribution to Augustana College (South Dakota), but we are trying to write an encyclopedia here, so please keep your edits factual and neutral. Our readers are looking for serious articles and will not find joke edits amusing. Remember, millions of people read Wikipedia, so we have to take what we do here seriously. If you'd like to experiment with editing, use the Sandbox to get started. Thank you.--12 Noon 05:55, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Speedy deletion of Zach Ludens
A tag has been placed on Zach Ludens requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

[edit] Zach Ludens
Wikipedia is not a directory of all knowledge, and more specifically it is not an encyclopedia variant of facebook. People have to have some inherent notability about themselves to warrant an article, and before you ask being on he national honour roll or been rated All-American do not immediately make one notable. –– Lid(Talk) 01:48, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
- In addition to creating articles about yourself, this also includes adding yourself to the current resident/notable native lists for the South Dakota and Sioux Falls articles. AlexiusHoratius 02:30, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
