Speedy deletion nomination of Keg johnson, Jr. edit

 

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 Keg johnson, Jr. 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 real person or group of people, but it does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

  • I am afraid I have deleted the article. I make no judgement on the musician's notability. (On the other hand, please note that notability is not inherited - just because his father Keg Johnson has an article on Wikipedia, it doesn't automatically mean that his son should have as well. Coverage in reliable third-party sources is the primary inclusion/notability criterion; your article cited no references at all. See also the notability guidelines for musicians.) Instead, I deleted it as a copyright violation - it appears to include a printed obituary. In addition, the article wasn't written in an encyclopedic style. An article needs to be written in a neutral and objective manner; promotional language and editorializing does not belong in articles. (An example of language inappropriate for encyclopedia appears right in the beginning: "It all started as though God had a hand in it or blind luck was abundant.") One more heads-up: article titles are case-sensitive.
