Speedy deletion nomination of Sean Connors[edit]

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Sean Connors requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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 article (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. De728631 (talk) 22:54, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Notability and Neutrality[edit]

Hi - just a friendly note - it appears another editor has already marked the article you created as non-notable and it may soon be deleted, but I wanted to give a few comments. First, the specific notability requirements for people can be found here - while this person may be significant to you it is helpful to stand back and think of whether they are important in the context of the entire encyclopedia. The second point is about neutrality - it is important that all articles be written without bias from a neutral point of view and avoiding any possible conflicts of interest. While your article seemed to be factually accurate and was well referenced with reliable sources it may have only told one side of the story. If a person does satisfy the notability requirements and has committed a criminal act then we would normally expect to see both sides of the story (mitigating circumstances, the persons defense, what they have done after conviction, etc...), rather than just a list of all the bad things they ever did. I am not condoning his actions - just trying to make sure you know how we like to build the encyclopedia. You can reply (right below here) if you have any questions.
