Talk:Tom Dascombe

Why is this article being selected for speedy deletion? Just google Tom Dascombe - all the info is there. I have referenced all text from very reliable sources. Please explain the problem someone... C78270 (talk) 21:19, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
 * It is certainly clear, and well-referenced, that Mr. Dascombe exists and does what it's indicated he does. What is in question is whether he is sufficiently notable to be the subject of a Wikipedia article.  At present the only citation that lends any notability is the one from the Daily Telegraph and a single source is not generally sufficient.  There is no specific notability standard that can be applied to a racehorse trainer so he will have to meet the general notability guidelines.  I'd advise you to trace all the links in this paragraph and see if you can add any further reliable sources to bolster notability.  Notability is not generally inherited; although the racehorses mentioned may be notable, it's not automatic that the person who trained them is notable.  What would be required is arm's-length, third-party expert sources who state that Mr. Dascombe is notable as a trainer per se.  If the article is deleted before you can add further sources, feel free to leave me a note and I'll retrieve the deleted material for you and put it in a place where you can work on it with slightly less urgency.

 * I'm satisfied, and apparently another administrator was sufficiently so that he removed the speedy deletion tag. Accounting4Taste: talk 22:36, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
