If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Glenn Ulrich, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with,
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors,
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam);
and you must always:
avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

Thanks for the message. I believe it was references to Ulrich's personal life that led me to believe that you were personally connected with him. The article has already been deleted. If you believe that you can more clearly make the article conform to Wikipedia policies and guidelines (cited above in my earlier message), you might contact the admin who deleted the article (User:Evilclown93) about restoring it. Let me know if I can help with anything. NickelShoe (Talk) 13:23, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You can get to a user's talk page by clicking their username, then clicking "discussion" at the top of that page. (Or click here.) You should include relevant information that shows the person's notability (see WP:BIO that you have found in published (including online) sources (see WP:NOR). Any information that you know from personal contact is not going to be appropriate for the article, and most of it probably isn't necessary information anyway. (You might look over WP:BLP for privacy concerns.) I hope that helps. Do take care to make sure he meets the notability guidelines before going to too much trouble.

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to respond--I've been having computer problems. You can recreate the article yourself per the guidelines at WP:PROD or contact another admin for help. NickelShoe (Talk) 18:36, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Notability of Glenn Ulrich[edit]

A tag has been placed on Glenn Ulrich 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. Jons63 (talk) 14:26, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
