Notability of Eugene Killoran

A tag has been placed on Eugene Killoran 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. — 72.75.108.10 (talk) 20:50, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Eugene Killoran

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Eugene Killoran, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Player made no appearances with the club and is therefore not notable.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. --Finngall ^talk 22:07, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

First of all, when you wish to leave a message for another user, do so on their talk page, not their user page.

Generally speaking, the consensus is that to merit an article here, players in team sports have to have played for a fully-professional club. Unless you can show that he actually played in a regular game for Verdy, he simply does not meet the notability standard for inclusion in Wikipedia.

I checked out your other new articles, and they're fine, although it would be better if you could provide outside references to reliable sources to support the information therein.

One thing I failed to notice is that the article had been created before, and it was deleted after a discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eugene Killoran. Other editors were also unable to find evidence that he actually played, and the consensus at that time was to delete the article on that basis. As such, the article could be tagged at any time to be speedily deleted as a recreation of the earlier article, but I'll refrain from doing so myself for a few days to give you some time to find new information.

Please don't take this personally. You're doing good work, and I encourage you to continue--it's just the one article that isn't quite up to snuff. Please keep up what you're doing, and don't hesitate to contact me if you have futher questions. Take care. --Finngall ^talk 16:37, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Mana Nakao

The article Mana Nakao has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Article about athlete who hasn't played in a fully-pro league and which fails the general notability guideline.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Jogurney (talk) 14:15, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
