Speedy deletion nomination of Jamie bekyarovich

A tag has been placed on Jamie bekyarovich 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 admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Jamie Bekyarovich

Hello, Revolution.rock2010, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your message.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and so has criteria for what subjects and topics may be included in it. There are a number of guidelines but the primary one is that the subject of an article should have received "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." (WP:GNG). In other words Mr Bekyarovich needs to have been written about in some depth in good quality, independent sources to meet the inclusion criterion for an article.

In some cases where an article falls well below the inclusion criteria and has no practical chance of surviving the usual deletion discussion, it may be deleted speedily (or 'speedy deleted', in the jargon). In this case, an editor considered that the article did not make any credible claim of significance or importance for the subject - one of the criteria for 'speedy deletion' - and when I reviewed it, it appeared to me to unquestionably meet that criterion.

My advice? Begin with sources. Find the best quality sources that you can about a subject and then write the article. And bear in mind the five pillars of Wikipedia.

As the editor who first "tagged" your article for speedy deletion, I thought I'd add a few thoughts. Another point to bear in mind is that writing autobiographies, or articles about people you know in real life, is very strongly discouraged. As frustrating as it is, it's best to wait for someone else to write the article. Luckily, there are lots of Wikipedia editors interested in musicians and bands, so if an artist meets out notability guidelines for inclusion, chances are there will be an article about them sooner or later. Before trying again, please read:

The last one in particular, is very important. Articles that don't meet those criteria end up being deleted. If you're interested in helping out at Wikipedia though, how about starting off by making smaller edits to existing articles about musicians and bands that you like?--Beloved Freak 14:53, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
