Speedy deletion of Dr. Robin Boast

A tag has been placed on Dr. Robin Boast 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 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 indicate the subject's importance or significance 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.

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 (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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Template:Academic-bio-stub, you will be blocked from editing. Kingturtle (talk) 02:00, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Autobio

I have a special dislike of people who copy a great chunk of their website, post it here and think they have created a Wikipedia article. Other people take the time to write articles especially for Wikipedia. In any case please read WP:AUTO. I recommend you to wait until someone writes your bio for you. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 09:32, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
