Could someone help me - this is my first creation on wiki! I haven't a clue why its up for deletion. Air Commodore Stewart is an RAF Officer and is now Commandant of Air Training Corps.

The primary reason Wikipedia marked this article for deletion is because this individual is not of interest to the majority or even a significant percentage of the users. However with his most recent appointment he has now become significant to 40,000 cadets in the UK, Germany and Cyprus, and about the same number again of staff, administrators and other associates of the Air Cadet Organisation. Additionally, there may be a significance to parents of cadets, local press as the name will routinely appear in the coming years and officials and dignitaries nominated to host the numerous visits this new appointment entails.

I have removed the deletion notice and will be shortly linking to this article as it provides significant, relevant and detailed information difficult to find elsewhere on the internet.

How do you change http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Commodore_Ian_Stewart to something easier to search for etc, i.e wiki/Ian_Stewart_(RAF_Officer) ? Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Plusadd (talk • contribs) 07:32, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I feel the title is not too relevant to the searches. Almost all search engines - Google and the internal search facility within wikipedia in particular - index the entire article and therefore where a number of the keys words are searched for that match the topic, a hit is returned. Adding RAF or any other 'meta' data to the title will not promote the topic nor make it easier to find. The greater the number of web pages that link to it and the more people searching for the information it contains the greater the ranking of the page. Additionally internal links within wikipedia from other related topics will help raise page ranking. Is this page linked to from notable RAF officers for example? - I do not know...
