Speedy deletion of Holmanc

A tag has been placed on Holmanc 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 article's 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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Bud Holman (July 17)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Theroadislong was:

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

He might pass WP:NARTIST but this will need WP:TNT and a complete re-write in neutral tone, it reads like it was written by a close relative.

Thank you for the assistance Cal Holman (talk) 20:51, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Theroadislong - What about the warning on the page that it was written by me and I am too close to the subject? Also is it protocol to leave all the discussion on the talk page? Again thank you for your help. Cal Holman (talk) 20:57, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
