Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed you created this page, and made a redirect for the other Andrew Peterson's out there. There is just one minor problem... The article you created is a copyright violation of the author's bio on his website andrewpeterson.com. If you want that page to stick around for a while, you will need to rewrite the article so as to not be a copyright violation. We cannot simply copy and paste his bio and call that his Wikipedia article. Check out WP:Five pillars for some guidelines to use when editing Wikipedia. -- PEPSI2786talk 02:32, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Andrew Peterson (Author)
[edit]
A tag has been placed on Andrew Peterson (Author) 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. —S Marshall Talk/Cont 14:00, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
