Speedy deletion nomination of Ken Costello
edit
A tag has been placed on Ken Costello 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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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.

If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at this temporary page.

Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! TRANSPORTERMAN (TALK) 20:58, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
The article Ken Costello has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Kudpung (talk) 09:52, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, such as Ken Costello, you may be blocked from editing. If you need guidance on how to create appropriate pages, try using the Article Wizard. You have now created this article three times. Apart from the copyright issue, the article was also unambiguously promotional in character, which is not acceptable. JamesBWatson (talk) 10:10, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
