Speedy deletion of Mark Sutton Vane

[edit]

A tag has been placed on Mark Sutton Vane 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 notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance 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 (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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi, this is the response to your comments on the talk page for this article. I think you need to do work to do what is called asserting notability. Have a read of WP:BIO - this specifies Wikipedia's policies about what biographical articles should be included. The reason I nominated this article for deletion was that I felt it didn't follow the following quote from the above guidelines:

A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published[2] secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent,[3] and independent of the subject.[4]

* If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be needed to prove notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability.[5] * Primary sources may be used to support content in an article, but they do not contribute toward proving the notability of a subject.

I have removed my nominated speedy deletion for the moment, since your comments on the talk page describing him as a leading designer make me think that he may well be notable. I suggest finding some secondary sources to back up your claim that he is a leading designer and include them in the article. If you need any help with including references in the article, please click the talk link in my signature and ask me any questions you need to. I hope this clears things up. best wishes - Fritzpoll (talk) 23:50, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
