Notability of Collins mckay
A tag has been placed on Collins mckay requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), 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 indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (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. Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 08:26, 23 June 2008 (UTC)


 * asserts at least some importance, so not a speedy. But if this is his only book, the article may well not stand, unless the reviews are truly exceptional. And they have to be published reviews, in 3rd party independent reliable published sources, print or online (but not blogs or press releases), and certainly not Amazon--tho if amazon has reprinted the reviews from a published source, you can find and cite the source. Add also a list of degrees and other profesional biograqphy. I'd advise you to add this very quickly, before it gets nominated for regular deletion. DGG (talk) 12:55, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Collins Mckay


The article Collins Mckay has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * An academic who wrote one book with no particularly newsworthy impact isn't really notable for an article. I suspect even the book wouldn't be.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Pseudomonas(talk) 21:11, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
