Wikipedia:Speedy deletions

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Matthewcieplak (talk | contribs) at 09:29, 12 July 2006 (Questioned speedy deletions: added Metal Skool). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

If you've come here having recently created a page that has just been marked to say it may soon be deleted, then please understand that we mean no harm in deleting your page. In fact, we welcome you to Wikipedia. We're delighted to have you, but the page you created seemed to be something other than an encyclopedia article. If it was a test, congratulations – you succeeded in creating a page. Please use the sandbox for further testing, or create a user page for yourself.

If your article was not a test, you may still have created a page that met the criteria for speedy deletion. If so, please see our guidelines on writing perfect stubs to see how you could improve the page to something that will not be instantly deletable.

For more information, please read our deletion policy.

Using this page

For articles that need deletion, add {{deletebecause|Reason.}} or {{db|Reason.}} to the top of the page. You should not wipe out the contents as it helps to check the contents to be deleted without having to look at the page history. This expands to:

Template loop detected: Template:Db-reason

Replace Reason with the reason why the page should be deleted under the speedy deletion criteria.

Other templates available that give a reason include {{nonsense}}, {{db-empty}}, {{db-band}} and {{db-bio}}. They may be used where appropriate. For a full list, see Speedy deletion templates.

(You can also use {{delete}} or {{d}} if you prefer not to provide a reason, but it is generally a good idea to provide a reason, even where it seems "obvious" to you.)

Note that if you just replace the content with {{db|reason}} the prior content will not be automatically added to the deletion log summary when the page is deleted.

See below for instructions regarding the deletion of personal subpages.

For articles that do not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, please use Wikipedia:Proposed deletion (for deletions likely to meet no opposition) or Wikipedia:Articles for deletion (for controversial deletions). Please do not list pages here that are already listed there.

Advice for administrators

  • Review our admin deletion guidelines
  • Use Category:Candidates for speedy deletion for a list of pages
  • Check talk pages, page history, what links here (especially for potentially controversial user pages), etc. If there is a dispute over whether the page should be deleted, consider first listing it on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion
  • If the page to be deleted is directly related to a specific user or that user's activities, consider moving the page to that user's personal userspace (and deleting the redirect) instead of deleting it outright.
  • Don't worry too much [1] — new pages patrol is unpleasant, and people will make mistakes. Wikipedia:Speedy deletion patrol goes through the deletion logs to catch stuff that shouldn't have been speedied, without rancor or excessive red tape. Feel free to be efficient!

Deletion of personal pages

Unless you are a sysop, it is not possible to delete your own user pages and subpages, so they must be listed here. If you are a sysop, it is recommended that you also list your pages here so they can be deleted by another sysop. For your main user or talk pages, you must list them here, not delete them yourself, to avoid the appearance that sysops can delete to hide negative comments, while others can't.

Only post pages from your own personal page, and only if you have a genuine reason for requesting a personal page of yours be deleted, please list it here.

Please see Wikipedia:User page for further instructions, and Wikipedia talk:Personal subpages to be deleted for past discussion on this issue.

Requested

Note: For faster response, please add {{deletebecause|Reason.}} or {{db|Reason.}} as mentioned above.

The page has a history, that's all the archive I need. - Andre Engels 13:59, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Algore" is Rush Limbaugh's purile and derogatory nickname for the former vice-president, and should not have its own page, currently a simple redirect to Al Gore. There is no purpose for this page other than as a insult against the man. Kitteneatkitten 20:30, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. The nickname is not widely known. You didn't know about it, for example. Futhermore, what the entry is about is making it more widely known. Finally, the policy says they can still be speedily deleted if they are "obviously ridiculous." A redirect from Algore to Al Gore, based on the fact that talk radio host likes to call the man a purile nickname, is definately, in my book "obviously ridiculous." It is also not an "obvious misspelling" Al Goar might be an example, but that is not the case here. Kitteneatkitten 03:07, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]


It is not a typo redirect. As an expression of contempt for him, Limbaugh always calls him Algore on the radio (saying the words together) and in print. Further, there is no typo redirect for Billclinton or Georgebush. Keeping this article basically means legitimizing a mean-spirited prank. Kitteneatkitten 01:10, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Its definitely perjorative, basically Bill Clinton's Igor. We don't need to be promoting Rush Limbaugh's slang for Democrats any more than we would promote Halliburton Shill or KKKarl Rove. But perhaps this should be listed at RFD. Thatcher131 01:42, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per noms own statements that it's a nickname used on a widely available radio show. Just because their neocons doesnt mean they shouldnt be able to get to Al Gore's article. Hell, it may help them learn a thing or two. My same reasoning on its mutual listing at the WP:RfD page -Mask   03:58, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Erronious redirect page

Sorry, I made a mistake by trying to quickly add a new redirect page to Wikipedia by getting to the 'create a new article' page. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Agdsfaf&redirect=no Delete this redirect page I made. Stuart mcmillen 03:46, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Articles

Another Nonsense page, this time about a person who 'May or may not love horses'. J Milburn 01:14, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Page has been changed to talk about a 'celebrity' who does not seem to exist. No google hits. Still a large, uncaptioned picture. The user has the same name as the article. Also, the tag has been removed twice without explanation by user:Kody monet.
AGAIN, the tag has been removed without explanation, even after I have left a note on the user's talk page. Could someone please delete the article and take action against the user? J Milburn 11:48, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Same as page below, on a similar subject, presumably from the same author. J Milburn 00:33, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Has now been expanded. J Milburn 00:45, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Steve Garfield was an article that was deleted as a result of an AfD almost a year ago but has since been recreated. This article should be speedied. --Strothra 02:04, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why was it deleted then? Is this the same text? __meco 12:21, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Steve_Garfield article seems to have been deleted for lack of notability and autobiographical reasoning. I can't, of course, know what the original content was. Kevin_b_er 00:21, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The author recently "became a correspondent for the vlog Rocketboom," and is clearly very involved with vlogging and such. Maybe it's an important part of the user's community, but this guy isn't very notable. Mind flux 22:42, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It asserts some notability and thus isn't speedy deletable. AfD it again if you wish. Kimchi.sg 13:29, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep IMO, Seems notable. Rocketboom is viewed more than some basic cable channels. - Mike Beckham 15:34, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What can I do to prevent the deletion of this page? what must i include? VNU Global Media Our article serves as an informational article regarding our company and what our company does. I've seen other corpoate pages and am trying to follow their same goal regarding their articles. Our significance is that we are a contributer in International Publications and use a variety of media tools to aid in marketing and research.

I've removed it from the speedy deletion queue as the article asserts the notability of its subject. However this article reads as a straight forward advertisement for VNU Global Media and as such I have proposed its deletion (see the new notice on the article). Its clearly written solely from the point of view of the company and Wikipedia is not an advertising medium. In general we do not accept "vanity" articles: ones written by interested parties such as yourself because they tend to end up as hagiographies of the subject. If VNU Global Media are notable enough to be covered by Wikipedia a third-party will come along and write a more balanced article about the company. Best, Gwernol 19:40, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I mistakenly created this invalid misspelling of Swatantrata Divas, India's Independence Day and sheepishly request its deletion!

Deletion of Templates

db-repost of previously deleted, deletion review verified, speedy deleted, speedy deleted again metadata template. Zzzzz 11:27, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

First, see Wikipedia_talk:Good_article_establishment#Good_Article_Symbol. That it was brought up before does not mean we can not bring it up again, esp since there is a lot of support for this and the GA policiy is now firmly established. There is no reason not to recognize editors for good articles. The symbol of a green star has lots of support or the cross sign of the GA project could be used.Rlevse 12:06, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

All of these images appear to be using invalid licensing information and are Copyright violations. The fair use rationale is stated as for identification and critical commentary on the station ID or program and its contents but the use of the images is instead superseding the use of the original work since the images are being used to re-tell the story-line of the program rather than to offer a critical review.

Deletion of Redirects

Redundant placeholder. Originally intended to be first content for a new section which changes automatically every month, however the section was not added to the portal on July 1st, so June section was useless. Then the section was converted to a placeholder to prevent a redlink should users who were still in June (due to timezones) visit the portal. Now this is also useless. --GW_Simulations|User Page | Talk | Contribs | E-mail 13:31, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Questioned speedy deletions

Tagged as a non-notable band, but are in fact somewhat famous (especially in the L.A. area). They consistently sell out their thrice-weekly shows, and have been on the cover of All Access Magazine. I've added this info and citations to the page. This should be moved to AFD if there is any debate. -- -Matthew Cieplak (talk) (edits) 09:29, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

After recieving speedy deletion notice, I have explained its importance in the discussion page and will show importance in main page upon the next edit.

The society was mentioned in the Galway Article and in the Druid Theatre Company Article.


The page is a vital source of information to many in the yorkshire area. The group is a big hit but with little or no information surrounding the group. Wikipedia will be central to those seeking knowledge of the D.t.G. thanks.

I've speedy deleted it (WP:CSD #A7) after reading the article and this comment. I'm afraid Wikipedia is not a forum for you to publicize your group of friends. Its an encyclopedia that reports on things that have already achieved a level of notability. Once your group has done something to make it notable, we'll welcome an article on it. There was no assertion of notability in the article. Also none of the claims were verifiable. Sorry, Gwernol 12:54, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not delete my article about the band Same Same. I believe they fit the guidelines for Notability for many reasons, but mainly because the band "Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable". Both members of Same Same were formally members of the band The Moffatts which easily meets several of the criteria for a notable band. I intend on adding more information to the article and believe it is enough information to warrant a second page instead of just a redirect to the Moffatts article.

After receiving a speedy deletion notice, I revised the "Rod Bernard" entry to indicate the subject's importance (now contained in the opening sentence). This should address the deletion notice's primary concern.

Please note that I intend this entry to serve as a "stub," since Wikipedia had a link for "Rod Bernard" but no actual entry for this subject. I plan to expand the entry periodically.

I have since revised and expanded the entry considerably since making the initial entry this morning.

These are listed under CSD A6. A number of other articles that were in the same category have already been deleted, presumably for the same cause. These pages were not "created primarily to disparage its subject". They were created because I felt that Wikipedia ought to have articles about these agencies, which achieved notability through being listed in the list that the category was named after (available here). Note that the information quoted in them is verifiable under the meaning of WP:Verifiable, that article having been produced on behalf of a well-known and respected professional body in the field of publishing. I don't think the verifiable truth can be disparaging. Fortunately, I've been able to save the text of Barbara Bauer, which had been edited a number of times before it was deleted. Can somebody clarify whether that article (which had similar information, but more in-depth) could be recreated? JulesH 00:55, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I see the articles have been deleted but the category remains and the request for deletion has been removed from it. What does this mean? Would recreating the articles be appropriate? If not, then it would probably be best to delete the category anyway, as there will clearly never be anything in it. JulesH 06:56, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Adhocipedia Someone deleted it, believing it to be implicitly WP:NN, please note that it may be about an encyclopedia of NN, but it itself is not NN because the encyclopedia's existence may be more notable than its content. Also, yes it only has 2 articles, but the point of the article on Wikipedia was to attempt to rectify that situation.CMIIW 15:50, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So it was advertising? Anyway, though the fact that it's on non-notable subjects doesn't make it non-notable, it may be non-notable for other reasons (such as the fact that it has only 2 articles). --Ihope127 19:00, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They are CSDs. This is a chart of bans of the proven puppets of the vandal Prin. I believe all articles created by his puppets after the first ban date (11 April) are eligible for speedy del under { db-ban }.
Ban Date Ban Duration Puppet/Puppeteer
11 April 48 hours User:Prin
14 April 96 hours User:Prin
19 April 1 month User:Yellow
23 April Indefinite User:Yellow, User:Cumbi, User:R.Madhavan, User:Jathu

I put a hangon on one of these articles yesterday. It was a fairly solid article about a movie that looks to be notable (not sure), although it needs sourcing. I fail to see whether it matters or not if the user is banned, if the article itself is good. Put it up for AfD and see if anyone else is willing to modify the article to correct deficiencies, if any, that's my suggestion. ++Lar: t/c 04:44, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As I've said before, if I were banned tomorrow, would India at the Cricket World Cup and Debaters Association Victoria and numerous other articles be simply deleted?? Nobleeagle (Talk) 07:22, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I understood G5 to apply to articles created AFTER someone was banned, which presumably India at the Cricket World Cup (not that I care a whit about cricket, I mean really! Incomprehensible, silly game, let's rid WP of ALL cricket articles!. LOL... KIDDING! ) is not, having been written in the past prior to any theoretical ban. G5 however does seem to offer an escape clause in that an article authored by a banned user after the ban can nevertheless be taken under the wing of someone else (who then "assumes responsibility" for it as it were) if that person substantially edits it. The article I refer to I did not substantially edit but I did put a hangon tag on it. ++Lar: t/c 14:55, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Guy is a performer and writer on X-play, a cult hit video game review/sketch show on G4tv. there are numerous links to him, on the x-play page, the x-play minor characters page, and the page for weezy and the swish, a podcast on which he's a frequent guest and guest host. i thought it'd be nice to have a short entry on him. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Guyball (talkcontribs) .

This is a biography relating to the life and work of Rob Hain and as such is an art stub. It will be added to in due course as more information becomes available. In the mean time other users are at liberty to make changes or to add to the content as they see fit. Rob Hain has illustrated books which are for sale through Amazon and is understandably eager to give any background information on his work which may lead to greater understanding.

If PopMatters and Tiny Mix Tapes can have pages, why not TwoWayMonologues? It updates more often than Tiny Mix Tapes, and is just as important. The website, which I do not run by the way, gets thousands of visitors every month, and thus should be allowed its own WikiPedia entry. - AlaskaFox 12:22, June 8 2006 (UTC)

This page should not be considered a vanity page. Greg Wain is a figurehead, headmaster, and currenlty holds a position of authority. He should be considered relevant. Note: for further information on Mr. Wain, Google 'Greg Wain'.

According to Wikipedia: "An article is "important" enough to be included in Wikipedia if any one of the following is true:

There is evidence that a reasonable number of people are, were or might be concurrently interested in the subject (eg. it is at least well-known in a community). It is an expansion (longer than a stub) upon an established subject. Discussion on the article's talk page establishes its importance.

If an article is "important" according to the above then there's no reason to delete it on the basis of it being: of insufficient importance, fame or relevance, or currently small or a stub, or obscure. (Detailed obscure topics hurt no-one because it's hard to find them by accident, and Wikipedia isn't paper.)"

Greg Wain is well known amongst the private school and Gold Coast community (this community exceeds 200,000 persons). This article is an expansion of the The Southport School 'wikipage', and hopefully the discussion here establishes his importance.

I look forward to any feedback.

  • I'd suggest this become a paragraph in The Southport School. Searching for notability, the best I can find is this newspaper article [5], which points out that the Southport School is not performing well, despite being the most expensive school in Queensland. "TSS principal Greg Wain did not return The Courier-Mail's call." --John Nagle 23:11, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not Speedy. Suggest AfD. The segment "Greg Wain along with John D. Mayer published a series of papers on young-male adult's emotional intelligence. These paper's were later distributed in early 2002 to 90% of all the Greater Public School's within Australia. The paper's showed the capacity to perceive and understand emotions define a new variable in personality." may, if developed, have sufficient claim to notability. I suggest this is moved to AfD to allow time for development, investigation or discussion. Those papers themselves are an attribute of Wain, not the school, so a merge would be inapproproate for that part of the topic Fiddle Faddle 16:51, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

While Mr. Ulwick does not have other articles by or about him on Wikipedia, this was an attempt to disseminate his business philosophy and that of his company, Strategyn. While interest in his company and practices may seem rather niche and therefore unworthy of inclusion, he is a trailblazer in market segmentation and the furthering of the Six Sigma standard. While this is, granted, a lot of area to cover, there is only so much that can be done in the initial article. However, there is indeed an audience of business professionals who want to know more about this author and speaker.69.28.160.194 23:36, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • I see. Then the Wikipedia listings for Microsoft and Nintendo, whose pages include descriptions of their yet-to-be released products, will be coming down soon as well, yes? 69.28.160.194 18:20, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Microsoft and Nintendo are both multi-national, multi-million dollar companies, both very notable... - Adolphus79 21:54, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Is the bar for an encyclopedia that entries only cover subjects a reader might already know about? Or to supply answers for questions one might ask? To say descriptions of products fairly represents a company, as is true in the Microsoft and Nintendo examples, but that descriptions of a company's founder is a vanity piece is frankly quite odd. I use Wikipedia to find information on topics I do not know everything about already, not to look up information on common knowledge. Incidentally, I am not Mr. Ulwick. I am merely trying to supply information about him and his company. Wikipedia is replete with entries of other such notables and their companies. I have made great efforts to make this article mimic those in style and format.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Mightyseo (talkcontribs)
  • I agree with Nagle, notability has not been proven, and the author of this article has only written it, and the article for Mr. Ulwick's company (Strategyn)... I assume the author is Mr. Ulwick, in which case, this would make a fine user page... - Adolphus79 21:52, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Many bands have pages on wikipedia. This page is in the process of being created so that information on the band would be more accesable. People are interested in this band and this is a place other that the bands home page where people can find out things. Many Evanescence fans are interested in covers and tributs done of evanescence's musicc and this band provides that. I do not believe it should be deleted. or it should atleast be given a chance to prove that it is worthy of Wikipedia.

ps. i wasn't sure where to wite this but i thibk i'm suposed to wite it here. please correct me if i'm wrong.

Please dont this was real organization i dont think it should be deleted because it can teach others what will happen yeah it needs some editing but thats what were all here for (Googleyii 02:45, 12 June 2006 (UTC))[reply]

no... stop... my baby... (Googleyii 03:09, 12 June 2006 (UTC))[reply]

I placed my rationale on the talk page, but in case it's not spotted I'll repeat here :

  • Regular character on the flagship soap opera of one of the UK's terrestrial channels (the character had an article long before the actress did!)
  • Lead character on BAFTA-winning childrens' sitcom.
  • Was member of pop group (allSTARS) who had four top-twenty hits in the UK, including one at #9 (see everyhit.com and search for "allstars")
  • Was considered famous enough by the producers of the long-running and popular Never Mind the Buzzcocks to be invited as a panelist.

If nothing else, I would suggest taking the article to AfD. I certainly don't feel it's a speedy candidate. Seb Patrick 11:17, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This page is 100% true and rooted in fact as anyone who has read Star Wars Tales 20 can attest to. I find it disrespectful that I and Clever curmudgeon would be written off as "tricksters" so easily after many exciting and useful contributions to wikipedia. If you check this page, I'm sure you will be able to see that the George R. Binks in question does appear in the issue and was including long before I created the article. I hope that the intrusive warnings that appear at the top of the articles page can be removed quickly and we can all put this behind us. Iodyne 18:34, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'd suggest deletion per WP:FICT. This is a minor character in a minor non-canon comic which verges on fan fiction. This kind of stuff belongs in Wookiepedia. --John Nagle 22:58, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Do not bring your personal opinions and point of views to wikipedia. The article is based on a character that exists in the Star Wars universe, and thus, there is no reason an article should not be dedicated to George R Binks as there are hundreds of other articles dedicated to Star Wars characters. The sources are true and there is proof against the verifiability of these sources. clever curmudgeon 02:50, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Wikipedia policy (WP:FICT)is that "Non-notable minor characters (and places, concepts, etc.) in a work of fiction should be merged with short descriptions into a "List of characters." --John Nagle 03:24, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    That's great, but that's your opinion that George R. Binks is a non-notable minor character. To others, he is a very prominent character that appears in Star Wars media. Clearly, there is enough information on George R. Binks to create a detailed article about him, and thus, the article should be left as it is. Bromyne 19:36, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I knew I was restoring a deleted page, so I was very careful in my work and in placing notice on the talk page, so I am dissappointed the article was still flagged.

As I said on my page... this is part of my continuing project to write about the notable performers in Arizona.

This was a vanity article, deleted in May 2006. I have re-created the article with links and an objective POV. There are no set Wikipedia guidelines for notability for improv groups, as there are for bands and musicians, but JRC is a notable figure (yes, that is his legal name) in both Arizona improv and music, as is Ryan Avery (though there are not Wikipedia articles about them at the time I'm writing this, there will be soon).

Because the vanity article was under the search phrase "catorce improv," and that still comes up in the search engine, I have re-directed that phrase to this page.

I have invited those who nominated the original article for deletion, or voted on the nomination, to go to the Catorce:Talk page with any comments! Parsssseltongue 00:01, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think that it's a tough action to speedy this. Paradoxically, I would however argue that it should be renamed, as the subject is from the sport of American football, rather than football (a.k.a. "Association Football) --Dweller 15:50, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I made the article and will be expanding it shortly; he passes the Wiki test for notability, however. WillC 15:55, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion. It is verifiable, and is as notable as the song I Used to Work in Chicago, which also has its own page.

Right now we have:

  1. Balls of steel - vocabulary term
  2. Balls of Steel - tv show
  3. Balls of Steel (TV) - redirect to Balls of Steel (tv show)

I propose moving 2 to 3 so that searching on "Balls of steel" with any capitalization combination leads to the same article (vocabulary term), which will have a link to the tv show article. In order to do this, Balls of Steel (TV) first needs to be deleted. MamaGeek (Talk/Contrib) 12:15, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Being a major editor to that article, I can confirm that this idea would be suitable. J.J.Sagnella 15:28, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been attacked almost since inception. One of the principle and open demonisers, User:Homeontherange, has already nominated it for deletion twice. Failing, he has now seriously defamed the subject which will undoubtedly cause unnecessary harm. Over 60 different editors compiled the original article with well-sourced commentary. This has now been massively butchered to such an extent that the article is now largely meaningless - except for the demonising element. I see proposals to include further smears from newspaper articles. It would be best for everyone concerned if this now very sad article was deleted. Sussexman 16:04, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like a decent article to me, now that JzG has removed the botched AfD notice, and the subject is clearly notable. It sounds to me like you want to delete the article because it's not article you want, but losing an edit war does give you grounds for speedy deletion. You could try AfD again, but my guess is that the article is going to be kept. · rodii · 17:06, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. At first, when I saw this, it looked like total NN and Vanity and I was ready to just pass on. But I saw the subject of the article is a member of India's Lok Sabha. Being a member of the national legistlative body is, I think, inherently notable, even more so in a country of over 1 billion people. In addition, he served in the Legislative Assembly of a state with 160 million people. I purged most of the resumé and vanity portions, but it still needs some clean up.

i know that this may seem like a candidate for deletion, but i highly disagree. Brandon may not be of significant importance to most people YET, but all of this information is true. It isnt just a friend makinga wikipedia page as a gift or joke. This is an honest fan who actually owns his CDs and has seen his show. Even if he only has local sucess so far, he is arising star. And he has accomplished quite a lot, especially with his web site. This article whould stay, because it is an example of how future celebrities will become famous. With technology, creators of small shows can spreadtheir product, and quickly grow a large fanbase. It would be a shame ot delete thsi article, because it is NOT deserving of immediate dismissal. A fan is trying give their idol recognition, nd wikipedia is a way for them to do that. the page may not be very well created, but i am new to wikipedaia, and need help editing it and making it better.

This page contains biographical information on a person, although a teenager, who is, and has had his name credited to 3 musical albums thus far. Also, the CSM Guitar Club will have its page created, and as the opening act to many popular bands has recording dates set up for the future, worthy of staying on wikipedia. They will undoubtidly sell many albums. Also associated with the Nanjamoy Creek Boys, a popular band in Maryland. Also, will undoubtidly be a college or pro lacrosse player in the future, so it saves future writers time.

Tagged for Speedy as an attack page by an anon. Clearly there are POV issues with the article (which I'd never looked at before today) but POV is not the same as a blatant attack page, and if anyone wants to argue for its deletion, IMO, it needs to go to AfD.

The bootnr page hasn't been fully completed yet. When it is complete it will include all the relevant information that any person searching wikipedia for boot finding resources will need.

Though this page was re-created after a deletion, it was done so to correctly conform to neutrality voice requirements and contains only matters of fact. Additionally, it is planned to be continued in that neutral voice.

Speedy delete. If articles can be recreated the day after an AfD deletion vote it makes a mockery of the process. Meanwhile, the candidate continues to garner free publicity. As has been stated on a number of occaisions, WP is not involved in the political process and does not attempt to balance the number of articles based on an erroneous concept of neutrality. If this article is not speedy deleted it will simply encourage creators to keep bringing articles back until they get the result they desire.

DO NOT DELETE. BlueValour, why have you taken it largely upon yourself to police this article and others that are similar? Are we going to delete all articles from political candidates? The FL9 US House race is one of the most wathced races in the country this year. If you and your fellow admins take down the Busansky site, then you better take down that of her opponent and all other US House candidate sites, including those of incumbents, while you are at it. If WP is not invloved in the political process, then why are there so many articles on the political process worldwide on WP? If this article gets deleted, you better delete that of the GOP candidate also. If not, I will appeal to higher up admins and make a case that you are violating the very rules that as an admin you are supposed to enforce.
