Speedy deletion of Dr. Whisky

A tag has been placed on Dr. Whisky 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 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content.

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 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.    SIS  13:40, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Check out User talk:Ianbrooks2000/Sandbox. The reason it got deleted was that it appeared to be a blog only. However, what you wrote on my page indicates that he may have more notability outside of that. I moved it over to your sandbox so that you can work on it. Cheers.

Some suggestions re: Dr. Whisky

If you really want to try to get the article kept, I'd say the only sliver of hope is to try to make it about the blog, not the person. Our website notability guideline, which covers blogs and similar things, is WP:WEB, and our guidelines for people are WP:BIO and WP:BLP, which are considerably more strict. It is my opinion that Dr. Whisky does not meet either of these at this time, but I also acknowledge additional notability may well exist that just isn't evident yet. Either way, the primary point is reliable sources (see WP:RS). Generally speaking, blogs and such are not considered reliable sources. If there are book, magazine or non-local newspaper sources, that would help a lot. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:32, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Laura Boudreau

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Laura Boudreau. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Laura Boudreau. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:12, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
