Speedy deletion of Jonnie Hallman

A tag has been placed on Jonnie Hallman 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 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 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Bit Lordy (talk) 23:02, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Restoration request for Jonnie Hallman

Hello, I'm sorry your article was tagged so very quickly after deletion; so many articles flood into Wikipedia each day, editors just deal with them when they find them or they tend to get missed completely. (Spend a few minutes refreshing the list!) However, I did read your article before I deleted it, and I reviewed it again just now. I am afraid I am firmly of the view that the subject does not pass the standard Wikipedia tests for biographies, particularly this one (but also see the more general notability policy). In short: the subject of the article has not had multiple, third-party, independent and (importantly) reliable sources write about him from which a Wikipedia article (a tertiary source) can be constructed. The same appears to apply for the phrase "destroy today". I hope that clarifies things for you. Again, I'm sorry you had a bumpy introduction to Wikipedia — perhaps you would try editing existing articles for a time while generally picking up the sort of thing that gets a good article.
