Thank you.
 

The article Stephanie weller has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, individual animal, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 19:31, 13 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Stephanie weller

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 Stephanie weller 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} 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 hang-on 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

With respect, going to her personal website and contacting her about her fame is precisely what we are not permitted to do here. To have an article, we would have to show that Stephanie Weller is Notable - we do this with reliable sources, independent of the subject, that show what she has done or is doing that makes her notable. We also have criteria specific to different types of subjects - WP:ATHLETE is the relevant one here, I think, and it has provisions for gymnasts here - and, in this case, Ms. Weller does not (yet!) meet those requirements. Once her career has taken off, and media outlets such as magazines and newspapers have taken note, then an article might be appropriate. I should also direct you to our conflict of interest policy. Since you are a close friend of Ms. Weller, it's not entirely appropriate for you to write an article about her - once she becomes more obviously notable, others will take up the task for you. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance. Best, UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 19:57, 20 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 19:10, 20 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
