Speedy deletion nomination of Carl Lezak
[edit]
You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.
Thank you.
A tag has been placed on Carl Lezak requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. smithers - talk - sign! 19:05, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
your new article
[edit]Hello, Bananacour. I understand that Carl Lezak was influential to you and others, and it truly hurts me to nominate something like that for a Speedy Deletion. However, on Wikipedia, people must be notable. Who did he influence and inspire? Anybody that has an article here already (that is notable)? Did he win any awards? I feel that this is a nice message however just not right for Wikipedia. If you have any questions about anything, please let me know by clicking this. Thank you for reading this message. smithers - talk - sign! 19:09, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
