Notability of Mark Barbeau

edit

A tag has been placed on Mark Barbeau requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, 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 assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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. Caknuck 02:59, 11 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

I'm sorry, but no being the publisher of a webcomic is not enough to warrant an entry here. For more informationsee our notability policy, verifiability policy, and web content guideline. Dsmdgold 13:45, 11 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

I came across your webcomic page when I was performing new page patrols. Please review the notability standards of Wikipedia as well as what Wikipedia is not. Your page was not deleted by myself. I only nominated your article for speedy deletion. It was the author/main contributor's choice to not add the {{hangon}} script to the article for preservation. I applied the speedy tag within 10 minutes of the article's creation. It should not have been hard to monitor the article for 10 minutes. Again, I hope you have already read about the notability guidelines. Please review your article and just because other webcomics are on Wikipedia does not mean your webcomic will be as well. You must prove the notability of the subject with verifiable sources with neutral point of view and without conflict of interest. May I suggest the new editor's guide on writing articles for light reading material before you start another article or attempt to resurrect your webcomic article? Tip: If you are not ready to deploy a fully complete article for other Wikipedia editors for review, comment, tag, etc., please don't put it up until it's ready. If you need a place to test your work, coding, etc., you can use the Sandbox in your namespace. Ex: [[User:Lord mark/Sandbox1]]. Happy Editing!
