Talk:Arthur J. Williams Jr.

Notability

I'm removing the nomination for deletion. We already discussed notability. Look at the history. User: Alexandergreenb, 6/23/09. 15:02 EST

The notability criteria are as follows:

"A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published[3] secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent,[4] and independent of the subject.[5]

• If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be needed to prove notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability.[6]
• Primary sources may be used to support content in an article, but they do not contribute toward proving the notability of a subject."

Arthur Williams adequately fulfills this criterion: he is the subject a book-length biography written by a third party. The depth of coverage is substantial, as it occupies the entire book. The book is published. The book has been reviewed and the author interviewed on a number of radio programs, television programs, and in newspapers and magazines. I don't see how he could possibly fail to meet the criteria in that sense. - User: Alexandergreenb, 6/23/09, 15:50 EST

Speedy deletion nomination of Arthur Williams, American counterfeiter

A tag has been placed on Arthur Williams, American counterfeiter requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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 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 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. Alexandergreenb (talk) 22:57, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
