Speedy deletion nomination of Scott T Keller

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Scott T Keller 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Vrenator (talk) 12:16, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

September 2011

Please do not write an article about yourself, as you did at Scott T Keller. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged - see our guideline Writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedians with articles.) Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Scott T Keller. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Wikipedia is not a medium for promoting anything, including people and campaigns. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:18, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

JamesBWatson (talk), this page is intended to serve as a candidate page just the same as any other candidate for President, such as Ron Paul has. Even this guy, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Schriner, has a candidate page. Why is it that you're trying to deny mine? As a candidate, I'm expected to have such a page. Keller2012 (talk) 14:50, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia does not provide "candidate pages". I'm not sure by whom you are "expected to have such a page", but Wikipedia requires evidence of notability for subjects of articles. Being a candidate for office is not sufficient. You may like to look at the general notability guideline and the guideline on notability of people to see what sort of thing is required. As for the other person you mention, I know nothing about him, and have no idea whether or not he satisfies the notability guidelines. However, the existence of an article on a subject is not a reliable guide to what is acceptable, as many people come here and write unsuitable articles, whether by way of vandalism, an exaggerated idea of the importance of their subject, the mistaken belief that Wikipedia is an indiscriminate collection of information and anyone can add anything they like, a desire to abuse Wikipedia for spam, or whatever else. It is a never-ending task removing unsuitable material, and the presence of a particular article is no guarantee that it satisfies Wikipedia's inclusion criteria. You should find another medium for promoting your campaign. JamesBWatson (talk) 15:05, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
