Speedy deletion nomination of Adam L. Gevirtzman


A tag has been placed on Adam L. Gevirtzman requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. 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 important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Hitro  talk  21:03, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

Hey Adam. I do not know if the above article is about yourself, though your username implies it might be. There are a bunch of issues involved. First, note that I did not delete this [ entirely unsourced ] article under the speedy deletion criterion it was tagged under (CSD A7), since I do not think it meets that criterion. However, the article makes a disclosure (which I will not repeat publicly) which raises a specter of serious legal and personal implications for the subject, and so I have deleted the article under the spirit of your policy regarding biographies of living persons. If it is you, then I expect that concern might be unwarranted or you would not have put it in, but if it's not you that cannot remain. Either way, having performed searches of both Google Books and News Archive (using both the the full name, and without the middle initial), even were this not speedy deleted, it does not appear the subject would meet our notability requirements for an article, and would be ultimately deleted anyway, if considered at a deletion debate focused on the merits of his inclusion in the encyclopedia at articles for deletion. Please understand that notability, as we use that word here, is not the dictionary definition, but is about keeping this an encyclopedia and not some other type of thing. Encyclopedia articles are by definition tertiary sources, reporting knowledge about subjects that the world has already taken note of by publishing substantive material about the topic in reliable sources that are independent of the topic, e.g., newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, etc. The simple fact is that most people on the Earth are worthy, valuable and unique but not the proper subject of an encyclopedia article.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 23:18, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
