Notability of Rachel ravage

A tag has been placed on Rachel ravage 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 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. -WarthogDemon 06:35, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

October 2007

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, as you did at Rachel ravage. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. Bfigura ^(talk) 06:36, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hangon

I've moved the hangon tag to the article's talk page, which is where I presume you intended to place it. Please note that if you wish to contest deletion, you should list your reasons for doing so on the article's talk page. Best, --Bfigura ^(talk) 06:49, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There's no time limit. As noted in the speedy deletion policy, articles that fail to meet certain basic standards may be deleted at any time. (Although I should point out that I didn't do the deletion here, that was handled by 2 different administrators it would seem). Also, as I mentioned earlier, creating pages about yourself is strongly frowned upon. However, if you think you can write a neutral page that meets our biography standard, you're free to try again. I'd suggest using the preview button to ensure you've got the article how you want it before submitting it. Best, --Bfigura ^(talk) 19:20, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
