Alan Bashara
A "" template has been added to the article Alan Bashara, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised.

RedRollerskate 17:18, 27 June 2007 (UTC) What is the minimum for an entry in Wikipedia. Alan Bashara was a factor in the 80s in Grand Rapids and the midwest as a talent buyer and promoter and entertained hundreds of thousands of patrons. His choices were groundbreaking in many cases taken chances on unproven attractions and turning them into bonafide draws. It has been recently noted that he suffered from PTSD from his experiences in Vietnam and that the disorder was the major cause of his drug use over the 30 year period following his army tour of duty. Bashara still works on the fringes of the entertainment business as a merchandise vendor. He is quoted in entertainment publications and the local newspaper. To see the details of his federal criminal indictment just google Alan Bashara. Although he was sentenced to 8 years in federal prison, he was really a small time dealer compared to others that serve that much time. That can be attributed to a prevaricating federal informant and shoddy legal representation.

Blackie Dammett
A tag has been placed on Blackie Dammett requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, 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 assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  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. Orange Mike 16:08, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
