Scott Backes

Would you move the page to "Scott Backes" in accordance with naming conventions? An occupation is not usually needed, and makes it more difficult for people to find. 69.181.249.189 (talk) 08:28, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Try again, this time using just his name per WP:NAME. 69.181.249.189 (talk) 08:35, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Scott Backes/ American Alpine Climber

If 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 Scott Backes/ American Alpine Climber, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

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. WuhWuzDat 08:42, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Scott Backes is notable, in my opinion

Hello, I've added references to the article, and tried to improve it. Thanks for starting the article. What do you think? Cullen328 (talk) 05:42, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment. Normal practice is to add new comments to the bottom of a talk page. You sign your talk page comments by adding a series of four tildes (~) to the end of your comment. That will add your signature. The most important thing that a good article needs is references to reliable sources. Whenever you see something in blue, you can click on it for more information. There is a lot to learn, but it would be great if you decide to stick around and create more articles (or improve the ones that already exist). You can comment on the deletion discussion by clicking the link at the top of Scott Backes. For example, you could click "edit" then at the bottom, type an asterisk, three single quotes, the word Keep, then three more single quotes. Then make a remark in your own words based on policy, such as that the reliable sources show that he is notable. It's best not to argue but simply state a logical reason to keep an article. Good luck, and feel free to ask me questions. Cullen328 (talk) 07:40, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
