Notability of Steven anthony potter

A tag has been placed on Steven anthony potter 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. Truthanado (talk) 02:12, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent posts

Your recent edits to Wikipedia:Editor assistance/Requests could give editors of Wikipedia the impression that you may consider legal or other "off-wiki" action against them, or against Wikipedia itself. Please note that this is strictly prohibited under Wikipedia's policies on legal threats and civility. Users who make such threats may be blocked. If you have a genuine dispute with the Community or its members, please use dispute resolution. I assume you were not, before now, aware of our policies against legal threats. Further threats of legal action will result in a loss of editing privileges.Pastordavid (talk) 03:21, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

Respect intellectual property rights - do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view when editing articles - this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account being blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Verifiability, not truth

At Wikipedia:Editor assistance/Requests you wrote "these things I said are facts ... You can not contest facts people."

From Wikipedia:Verifiability: "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth. "Verifiable" in this context means that readers should be able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source. Editors should provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is challenged or is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed."

Your comment about things being uncontestable facts is almost irrelevant. What matters is whether the facts are referenced and verifiable through reliable sources. If you add true facts without any reliable sources then your edits likely will be removed.

I also recommend that you read Wikipedia's guideline about notability. Especially read the policy about people. To oversimplify, Wikipedia judges the importance of a subject by the number of mentions of the subject in newspapers or magazines. If there is enough information at newspaper websites to write an article just from those newspaper sources, not from any independent knowledge that you might have about the subject, then the subject probably is notable and those newspaper articles can serve as verifiable sources for the information in the Wikipedia article.

If you think the subject is notable by Wikipedia's standards, then go collect your references to reliable sources. Do that before you even write a word of the article. You absolutely must have those references. If you can find them, then you can use them to write the article; if you can't find sources, then all the words you write, however persuasive you think they might be, will not justify keeping the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sbowers3 (talk • contribs) 04:09, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
