Speedy deletion of Wayne The Brain Allison

A tag has been placed on Wayne The Brain Allison 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 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 assert the subject's importance or significance 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 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Thanks for your note. You're welcome to recreate the article (if you need help with that, let me know). I would recommend, though, that before you do that you search out useful references by third-party expert sources that demonstrate this individual's notability and add them to your new draft; in the article that was deleted, that aspect seemed very much lacking and any recreation of the article would almost certainly be tagged for deletion by another editor. Also note that Wikipedia's citations must be Verifiable. I'm afraid I can't give you a direct reference for a standard against which to measure this individual's notability, since as far as I know there are not many notable recording engineers and Wikipedia has not developed such a standard, but looking up the article at WP:Notable would be a good idea to give you an idea of the standard of notability that encyclopedia entries must meet. If there's something further I can do to help, let me know. Accounting4Taste:talk 03:37, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
