Speedy deletion nomination of Grant Edmund Cardon

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Grant Edmund Cardon 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, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, but it does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Deletion of Grant E. Cardon wiki page

how is a distinguished professor with over 40 publications in scientific journals and texts not meet criteria to be a "notable person"? Masecar90 (talk) 22:07, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Please see Wikipedia:Notability (people) and WP:SCHOLAR. Notability requires evidence, generally in the form of significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. "Distinguished" is an opinion unless attributable to reliable sources. Feel free to comment in the deletion discussion (where consensus will ultimately be reached), and/or include sources demonstrating notability. --Animalparty! (talk) 23:27, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
