WHITESIDE09 edit

 

The article WHITESIDE09 has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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) 07:29, 13 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Re your message: I deleted the article because your friend is currently not notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia. Unfortunately, running for school captain for a high school is not a notable achievement. Please see the notability guidelines for inclusion on Wikipedia. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:37, 13 October 2008 (UTC)Reply
