Speedy deletion nomination of John Kibathi Thuo

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 John Kibathi Thuo 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 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 your page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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, you can place a request here. -- Patchy1 REF THIS BLP 09:08, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Kenyan Election Articles

Hi, thanks for the good work on the articles. I converted the IEBC pdf into a spreadsheet which I am using to create the articles before updating wikipedia hence the faster turn around. We will need to go through the articles for quality purposes especially on parties, links to individual pages and geographies. I am yet to work on the county assemblies. I will do this once I am done with the National Assembly Update.Kenyabook (talk) 13:43, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I see you are working on West Pokot. I am done with the other counties' national assembly election pages. Taking a break for now. I will try work on the county assembly pages later.Kenyabook (talk) 13:53, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

discussion

(moved from ThurnerRuperts talk page ...) Thanks for your suggestions. Some of the candidates are already notable for other things as well, eg Obama's brother and former head of stock exchange, so may also need separate pages, not just further details for those. Anon547 (talk) 14:26, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

yes, might be. but notability is not defined on what you did or who you are, or whoses brother you are, but if somebody else took note of it. see notability criteria. --ThurnerRupert (talk) 14:39, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, entries for these already exist, so may not be appropriate to move the material, however others may be better to move until have more reason to have a separate page. Thanks for the suggestions. Anon547 (talk) 14:45, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've also nominated Charles Njoroge Gicheha. I don't want to discourage you, you're obviously doing great work in the kind of area where Wikipedia has traditionally been badly served. But we don't need articles on every single candidate in every single election. If you look at something like the UK politics articles, we generally have articles for each member of the national parliament, but in general we don't have articles for members of the equivalent of county assemblies, and we don't have articles for candidates who fail to win a national seat. Just generally, I'd concentrate on the "big" stuff for now rather than individual people, aside from the fact that just parroting lists of candidates for county elections is getting close to being a WP:GAZETTEER, we don't have articles on basic things like county assembly.Le Deluge (talk) 14:51, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
