Hello, did you see my response at the help desk? I'd be happy to walk you through it if you need it. By the way, welcome to the Wikipedia community! Love, Neranei (talk) 02:50, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Your question at the help desk

The administrator who deleted it was User:Tijuana Brass. Go to User talk:Tijuana Brass and explain why you think the player meets Wikipedia:Notability (people). The problem is, you didn't include any sources to establish notability, and minor leaguers are usually not fully professional; they tend to have another job to support themselves financially. But you can try and find sources to back up your belief that he is notable. Leebo ^T/C 03:43, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

You should be able to leave a note on Tijuana Brass's talk page just like you left me a note. It's nice that you want to write about these minor league players, but you should review Wikipedia's notability criteria. Semi-professional athletes generally aren't considered notable, unless there are articles being written about them. All articles also need to contain citations to reliable sources so that readers can verify the content. Including such sources also establishes that the subject is notable.

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 04:14, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Matt rizzotti

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.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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. - Jameson L.
