Speedy deletion nomination of Marcello Di Francesco


A tag has been placed on Marcello Di Francesco, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of Marcello Di Francesco and leave a note on |the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:25, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Please note that Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia, not a medium for promotion or publicising of any particular view. Apart from the problem mentioned above with the article Marcello Di Francesco, there is also the article Jordan Bionda which you have created. It is not at all clear what your purpose in creating this article is, but Wikipedia does not exist to carry copies of court transcriptions. This article, like Marcello Di Francesco, has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please do not create more articles until you have familiarised yourself with Wikipedia's standards. I suggest good places to start would be reading Wikipedia's notability guidelines, the guide on "your first article", and the policy on "what Wikipedia is not". Also if you have any questions please feel welcome to contact me on my talk page. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:33, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

I have read your "hangon" note, but I have still deleted this article, because it gives no indication that the subject is notable, a requirement to have a Wikipedia article, which is not a matter of opinion but needs to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."

Also, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a notice-board or a repository for copies of original source documents like court transcripts. See WP:NOTREPOSITORY #3 and WP:Do not include the full text of lengthy primary sources. I repeat the advice above: read WP:Your first article, and the full list of WP:What Wikipedia is not, and also before you write about any living person the important policy on WP:Biographies of living persons.
