Speedy deletion nomination of Mark Boler
[edit]
A tag has been placed on Mark Boler 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 important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles 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. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles – see the Article Wizard.
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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

[edit]In general, candidacy for office doesn't satisfy WP:BIO, which is Wikipedia's guideline for individual notability. The version I deleted did not mention that in any case (I now understand that you hadn't gotten that far). Take a look at the subheading WP:POLITICIAN for further guidance, and you might want to start the article in userspace until you can develop it to the point that it can be retained, maybe in User:KanardAzul/sandbox. Bear in mind that all biographies of living persons must be referenced. Acroterion (talk) 21:30, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
