Notability of Stephen barnes

A tag has been placed on Stephen barnes, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, 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 assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. 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. Alcemáe T • C 05:31, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article Stephen barnes you have recently written may not meet Wikipedia's generally accepted criteria for inclusion of biographies. It has likely been marked for deletion. Don't worry, there are several other options:

Create an entry for yourself on one of the many social networking websites.
Many ISPs allow you to create your own website, often at no extra charge.

With the above options your biography will be protected from being edited by others, unlike a Wikipedia article.

You may create a wiki at EditThis.info or one of the other wiki farms.
If you are attempting to make an entry for genealogical purposes, you may find WikiTree.org a useful site (but please do not simply copy material to Wikitree unless you are the original author - their license terms are different from Wikipedia's).
If you are, or intend to become, a regular Wikipedia contributor, please use your user page (user:Barnessk) to post biographical information about yourself.

Thanks and welcome to Wikipedia! Please feel free to delete this notice once the issue has been corrected.

Re: Deletion of Article "Stephen Barnes" -

in reply to this— I am sorry if your article got deleted before you had a chance to finish it. Wikipedia's "speedy delete" is sometimes a bit too speedy for inexperienced authors -- my apologies. A suggestion: if you perform your edits on your personal user page, you will not be interrupted. Best, Iknowyourider (t c) 05:57, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
