Speedy deletion nomination of Jon Howard

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Jon Howard 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 important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles 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. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Jon Howard article

edit

Hi, Jaunsk! I have just seen your article about Jon Howard. I voted to keep it and probably this will be the result of the discussion. In fact, as I said on the discussion: he played in two notable bands, so he is also notable, accordin WP:BAND #6. However, you can avoid other problems with the article if you add to it informations about the importance of the artist himself. The text has nothing about Jon Howard independently of his bands. Don't you have any information and reliable source about it? Personal life, early career, solo projects etc.? It would contribute to expand and improve the article and avoid other nominations for deletion. If you want some help to do it, you can count on me.Victor Silveira (talk) 07:11, 29 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
