Speedy deletion contested: Yann Barthès edit

Hello Solar Snoopy, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Yann Barthès, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Logan Talk Contributions 17:58, 3 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

CSD A7 clarification edit

I've also declined a speedy deletion request on Nagui Fam. The article makes quite a few very clear assertions of notability, including that the subject is a very well-known TV personality. Note that to avoid A7 speedy deletion, a reasonably credible assertion of importance or significance of the article subject need only be made in the article. It doesn't mean the subject is notable, but if the article says anything hinting that it might be, it's not something that should be handled by the speedy deletion process. If you search for sources and find nothing or next to nothing, you may want to address the issue through the proposed deletion or articles for deletion process, intended for articles which may need to be deleted but do not meet a speedy criterion. Let me know if you have any questions. Seraphimblade Talk to me 19:29, 3 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
