Your articles on Brad Schneider
Hi there - I do want to say, welcome to Wikipedia, we're glad you're here. That said, I should let you know, I've proposed deletion of the two articles you've created. Mr Schneider does not appear to meet our guidelines on Notability, as he's only running for office, he hasn't yet achieved it, and according to the article, hasn't done anything else that's unusual, or encyclopaedia-worthy.

Also, it wasn't necessary to create two articles, for both versions of his name - if he wins the election, or you can include other information to show why he should have an article, it would be best to put it all in one article, and use the other one as a re-direct. If you want to talk about this, or have any questions, please do reply either here or on my talk page. All the best --Saalstin (talk) 22:16, 25 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi--
 * I apologize for creating two articles. The first one that I made glitched in that his first name was capitalized and his last name was not, and I was not able to change it. I will familiarize myself with the redirect function. I should let you know that Brad Schneider is the most viable Democratic candidate in the most-watched district in the country. The 10th District is very likely to turn Democratic in the next election and Brad Schneider is the most viable candidate for the Democratic nomination. I believe that it is very appropriate that he has a Wikipedia page. (11SteinA (talk) 22:23, 25 May 2011 (UTC))


 * You'll also want to read WP:POLITICIAN, particularly the third point: "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of 'significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article.'" Effectively, there is no independent coverage of Schneider at this time in the article: although one of Lynn Sweet's Chicago Sun-Times columns is listed as a reference, that entry is just a restatement of one of Schneider's press releases and not a column written by Sweet about Schneider. —C.Fred (talk) 22:27, 25 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi again - as you've probably seen on the article, I've now proposed that the article be deleted after community discussion, at Articles for Deletion, as you contested the 'proposed deletion' by removing the tag (which you were free to do). Please do chime in on that discussion, but before you do so it would be useful if you could read the notability guidelines, and specifically for people, as those are the Wikipedia 'policies' which the discussion will be based around, so you'll be better able to discuss it with regular contributors if you're already familiar with them.  As before, any questions or comments, just ask.  --Saalstin (talk) 00:11, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Hello, I have added many new citations since there has been an increase in the coverage of the topic. These sources are been nationally respected news agencies (Roll Call and the Daily Herald, and local articles on several outlets of Patch.com. I think that these references fill the requirements of all of the the notability guidelines: significant coverage, reliability, sources, independence of subject, and presumed. I look forward to discussing this further if need be. (11SteinA (talk) 16:47, 26 May 2011 (UTC))

Repost of Brad Schneider
A tag has been placed on requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, because it appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion process. If you can indicate how it is different from the previously posted material, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please contact the administrator who deleted the page or use deletion review instead of continuing to recreate the page. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 02:05, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
