Speedy deletion nomination of Barnaby oliver
editIf this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Barnaby oliver 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 important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. E. Fokker (talk) 22:16, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Help desk question
editYou have a number of serious misunderstandings about how Wikipedia works. First you must understand verifiability from a Wikipedia perspective, WP:V explains this and WP:RS explains how what a reliable source is. Notability is also probably an issue here WP:N covers this. You also should read WP:COI as it is highly discouraged to write Wikipedia articles on subjects with which we have a close personal connection as it is difficult to maintain a neutral point of view (WP:NPOV. If there are still things which are unclear myself and others would be happy to help. --Leivick (talk) 00:47, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
- I would also suggest getting some help from someone who is a native speaker of English. --Orange Mike | Talk 01:53, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
