Christopher Tenzis

Hi, I noticed last night that you created the Christopher Tenzis article which I subsequently marked for speedy deletion. I see that you've subsequently improved it a little , which is good, but just want to point out that if somebody does mark an article for speedy deletion then the creator of an article isn't meant to remove that tag themselves but add the {{hangon}} tag so that an admin can review the situation rather than have running battles of people creating articles, them being tagged, untagged, retagged and so on. Otherwise, welcome to wikipedia. - Chrism would like to hear from you 11:44, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

The reason the article has been deleted is because it, as written, didn't meet the requirement that an article about a person has to indicate why they're a significant person.

An article about a real person, an organization (e.g. band, club, company, etc., except schools), or web content that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant. This is distinct from verifiability and reliability of sources, and is a lower standard than notability. This criterion applies only to articles about web content and to articles about people and organizations themselves, not to articles about their books, albums, software and so on. The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source. If the claim's credibility is unclear, you can improve the article yourself, propose deletion, or list the article at articles for deletion.

So when writing it you have to make some claim that they're notable and therefore deserving of their own article. They're are lots of experimental film-makers - why is he more important than most? Why is he important enough to be listed in an encyclopedia? Has he had a film shown at major festivals, or one starring a significant actor for example? Has he been mentioned in significant news media? That kind of thing. If you can make such a claim, even if un-referenced, then the article isn't eligible for speedy deletion. That said, it can still be proposed for deletion through the usual deletion process if it doesn't meet our notability requirements but that takes more time. In order to make sure it doesn't get deleted that way, then you need to start providing reliable sources to back up what you've said. So if they've been mentioned in the New York Times for example, then you can add a reference to the article backing up your points. I hope that helps a little. - Chrism would like to hear from you 16:00, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Christopher Tenzis

A tag has been placed on Christopher Tenzis 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ttonyb1 (talk) 01:43, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Piesandcakes343! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to these articles, it would greatly help us with the current 939 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

1. Bo Harwood - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
2. Alex Wrekk - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Proposed deletion of Jacko Vassilev

The article Jacko Vassilev has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No significant coverage. All bio details come from personal page, search references for the person comes from photoforums or blogs, which upload only portfolio of the artist work. No reliable source for biographical details.

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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
