Notability of Tony Salmons

A tag has been placed on Tony Salmons requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it 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 page (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. Andreworkney (talk) 19:44, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

• Surprisingly, Tony Salmons garners a fair number of Google hits as an artist in comic books. However, an article which is based on him being "not very well known by the general public" and having "limited output" undermines the idea of him being notable. You might want to rewrite the article to try to show that he is notable and well-known in the comics industry rather than showing him as being non-notable, since a non-notable person is not going to be worthy of a Wikipedia article. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 19:56, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
