Notability of Peter Traub

The article Peter Traub has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. J Milburn (talk) 18:01, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Notability of Peter Traub

A tag has been placed on Peter Traub requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Bagheera (talk) 18:19, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

This note duplicated from the above article's talk page.

Hi. Articles on Wikipedia need to meet certain criteria. Biographical articles must assert the encyclopedic significance of their subjects. You can read what constitutes encyclopedic significance for a musician at the guidelines for notability on musical articles and for biographies in general at the guidelines for notability on biographies. All articles are expected to verify their assertions with reliable secondary sources distinct from their subject. They must also be written from a neutral perspective and without personal observation or reliance on unpublished facts. When it comes to a biography of a living person, they must also be written conservatively, with respect for the individual's privacy and particular care for the integrity of sourcing. If this individual meets the notability guidelines, please ensure that the article about him is written within policy. Your {{hangon}} tag may not prevent the article's being deleted before you have finished work, so I am duplicating this note at your talk page. If the article is deleted, you may recreate it as long as you can bring it in line with policy. As one final note, it is generally helpful to tag articles that are in process with {{underconstruction}} or {{inuse}}, to let other editors know that you are not finished with them. Even in such cases, however, it is a very good idea to get the individual's notability established immediately and prominently placed in the article's lead paragraph. Good luck. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 19:15, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
