Speedy deletion nomination of Evan Curry

A tag has been placed on Evan Curry 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), 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. — ξ^xplicit 06:03, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Hot much

The article Hot much has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable neologism

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:33, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of Hot much

I have nominated Hot much, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hot much. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:52, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

This term is more appropriate for urbandictionary.com, where it's not even listed yet. WIkipedia just isn't the right place to document the usage. UncleDouggie (talk) 07:08, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Re your message: The article can remain on Wikipedia if you can establish why the phrase is notable enough for inclusion. For example, you will need to show that the phrase is in wide spread use, made a cultural impact, and has significant coverage from reliable sources on it's use. After expanding the article to include those items, you are welcome to state your case on the AfD for the article on why it should remain. I do not believe that Wikipedia does not have an article for "Yea boi" (or "Yea boy" or "Yeah boy" if you want to spell it differently) if you are referring to the phrase often used by Flavor Flav. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:10, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Re your message: Unfortunately, telling me that it meets the criteria I stated doesn't work. You need to provide citations from reliable sources showing that the phrase is notable. For example, you would need to provide a link to a news article from a major publication using the phrase or discussing the phrase. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:23, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Re your message: You removed the AfD notice, which is not allowed. As I told you before, you must establish why the phrase is notable. You merely stating that it is notable is not good enough. If it so pivotal, then you should have no trouble finding the proper sources for it. In the mean time, Wikipedia is not for you to define a phrase used by your friends. Please review the links that I provided in my previous messages. Thank you. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:38, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Re your message: That won't work. You can't use the existence of the Wikipedia article to establish the phrase's notability. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:44, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Re your message: It is up to the Wikipedia community to decide if the article will remain or not. The discussion will occur on the AfD discussion page for the article. You may state your case there, but since you can not provide sources for it's notability, the most likely conclusion of the discussion is that the article will be deleted. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:55, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Re your message: No, that would not establish the phrase's notability. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 08:03, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Re your message: Yes, if you can not find a reliable source, it is likely that the article will get deleted. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:36, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Hot much. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:26, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
