Speedy deletion nomination of Anthony Smee
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
A tag has been placed on Anthony Smee 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, 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 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. AHRtbA== Talk 15:57, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, as you did at Anthony Smee. 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. I appreciate you attempting to make an article, but please keep in mind that all articles must be verifiable, and articles of living people must follow the appropriate policy to achieve a neutral point of view.

[edit]Hi, Do you have any notable references online about yourself for the article? (eg. stating what you do, bio, etc.) Thanks. AHRtbA== Talk 15:16, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of Anthony Smee
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/74/Ambox_warning_yellow.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_yellow.svg.png)
The article Anthony Smee has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Just a list of unreferenced roles; WP:COI
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. Falcon8765 (talk) 00:20, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
Hello Anthony...
[edit]Wikipedia has certain requirements for inclusion within its pages. Most imprtant is "Notability" (WP:N) as shown by in-depth coverage in reliable sources (WP:RS). If you have links to film and theatrical reviews of your work, you might best bring such links to the atention of editors working to improve the article. However, and even though you may not have placed the article here as self-promotion, Wikipedia's concerns with conflict of interest (WP:COI) pretty much mean you should refrain from editing this article yourself. Offer the informations to more experienced Wikipedia editors and allow them to make sure such meets the requirements. If others like myself say "Yes, this preson is notable" and work to improve the article, COI is not a concern. As you might have already seen, the article Anthony Smee is already looking much different from its beginnings. Best regards, MichaelQSchmidt (talk) 05:33, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
