Speedy deletion nomination of D.G Smalling
edit
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 D.G Smalling 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 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 "Click here to 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.

- As far as I can tell, nothing about my page should have disqualified it from inclusion on wikipedia. D.G. Smallings is an accomplished Oklahoma native artist. He has been featured at the Smithsonian, and other art galleries across the states. Please provide follow-up with reason for deletion.Srbelle (talk) 18:29, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

The article D.G. Smalling has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Notability has not been established. Even within the Oklahoma Native art world, smalling is not notable. He exists and has created art but has not won major awards, is not "widely cited by peers or successors," has not "a significant new concept, theory, or technique," has not "played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work," has not "won significant critical attention," etc.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
