Speedy deletion nomination of E.J. Westlake[edit]

A tag has been placed on E.J. Westlake 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 about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, 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

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. gordonrox24 (talk) 19:31, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am in the process of looking up the reviews for my plays and books - which will give this page sufficient outside references. I'm mentioned on several other wiki pages, so I thought I'd provide a tie. User:Ejwestlake Ejwestlake (talk) 19:36, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Removing Speedy at E.J. Westlake[edit]

Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles you created, as you did with E.J. Westlake. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please do the following:

Place {{hangon}} on the page. Please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag(s).
Make your case on the article's talk page.

Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 19:39, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies. Just learning wikipedia. :>) User:ejwestlake Ejwestlake (talk) 19:48, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I am glad you have contested deletion but you now must tell us why you think the article should not be deleted at the articles talk page. Thanks!--gordonrox24 (talk) 20:49, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

June 2009[edit]

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, as you did at E.J. Westlake. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. -- Mufka ^(u) ^(t) ^(c) 01:12, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Stark Raving Theatre[edit]

The article Stark Raving Theatre has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Seems non-notable

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