Notability of Gavin Wims

A tag has been placed on Gavin Wims requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), 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 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 page (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. Mww113 (talk) 21:37, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Warning

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from pages that you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, then please place {{hangon}} on the page (please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag) and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Mww113 (talk • contribs) 21:51, 2 April 2008

Notability claims and Gavin Wims

You claimed in the Gavin Wims article that he "achieved major acclaim as one of the country's most respected Irish dancers" and that "he became All Ireland Irish dancing champion." Wikipedia has a verifiability requirement for such claims, as well as for any and all details of a living person's life, per WP:RS, WP:BIO, and WP:BLP. I could not find information about this person at Google News archives. If you are aware of sources to substantiate the two claims then please add them to the article, or the claims will be removed. Without them, there does not appear to be much to show that the individual satisfies the notability requirements per WP:BIO and the article could be speedily deleted. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. Edison (talk) 22:23, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, such as Gavin Wims, you will be blocked from editing. Toddst1 (talk) 14:47, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

I do not agree that it was all that "inappropriate" a page, or that the warning was necessary, just that it lacked reliable sources to prove the claims which helped to demonstrate notability. It did not read like a hoax or any such. Edison (talk) 19:38, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
