Speedy deletion of Michael L. Vincent

A tag has been placed on Michael L. Vincent requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. 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 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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 (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the 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 would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.

Speedy deletion of Michael L. Vincent

A tag has been placed on Michael L. Vincent, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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 (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the 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 would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.

Michael L. Vincent

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Michael L. Vincent, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Misplaced Pages:What Misplaced Pages is not and Misplaced Pages:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Misplaced Pages or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

AfD nomination of Michael L. Vincent

I have nominated Michael L. Vincent, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Michael L. Vincent. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Hi Gregg I am getting the impresion that you are taking this AfD as a personal attack against yourself, it is far from it have a read of world wont end it's a light hearted essay and will give you a perspective on this process. BigDunc (talk) 12:37, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
  • response -Hi "BigDunc". Thanks for the link. But please understand I really don't feel this as a personal attack on me at all. A personal attack is one that involves me personally, and considering this is about an article than that puts me in the clear ;) I am just defending an article regarding a composer whom, according to wiki's rules, is notable and should not be deleted. I have not read any any evidence that has swayed my opinion yet, and until that happens then I will continue to point-out how this article is notable and should stay. All told, I am confident the process will run its course, and it help us all decide wether should be deleted or not. Either way, I am confident the matter will be settled ;)Gregg Potts (talk) 19:44, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
