Ike carlson

I've read the note you left on Talk:Ike carlson and the associated "hangon" tag on the article. You may not be aware that articles about individuals in Wikipedia must conform to our notability standards, and this article doesn't meet that standard; nor does it have reliable sources or any verifiability. I can appreciate that you want to make a gift to a retiring teacher, but Wikipedia is not a memorial, nor is it a webhost for material that doesn't meet its notability standards. I have therefore decided to agree with the individual who tagged the article for speedy deletion. If you have any questions about Wikipedia policy that are not answered by examination of the links in this paragraph, or by reading WP:Why was my article deleted?, feel free to leave me a note.

Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page. To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable, that is, of general interest. Click on Notability for an explanation of what that means, and on Notability (people) for more detail. Also, it must give independently verifiable sources. Articles that don't meet these requirements are likely to be deleted.

For advice about creating articles, read the Introduction and the Guide to creating your first article.
You should not write articles about yourself, your band, your client, your boss or your best friend - that's a conflict of interest.
Wikipedia is not an advertising service. Before writing about your own organization, read FAQ/Organizations.
For experiments, please use the sandbox.

Speedy deletion nomination of Ike carlson

A tag has been placed on Ike carlson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, 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. JohnCD (talk) 16:50, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Ike carlson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.
