Speedy deletion nomination of Ian Manocha


A tag has been placed on Ian Manocha 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". 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 page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Pontificalibus (talk) 12:41, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Reasons for deletion
Your references made no mention of him, except for a brief sentence below the first one. The SAS page on Wikipedia doesn't mention him. I could find little reliable in a quick Google search. If you are going to claim that he is of importance, you must back this up with reliable sources WP:RS that talk about him, and not with links that only discuss Open Data. If you have another go, I would advise putting it on a subpage of your userpage, headed DRAFT, and then asking someone for an opinion before launching it again. Most admins or regular editors would be willing to give their opinion. Good luck. Peridon (talk) 17:56, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Points
I've moved your stuff to User:AnnMMorgan/Ian Manocha because it shouldn't be on a talk page. The refs don't look up to scratch to me, I'm afraid. They look to be like passing mentions, quotes from, or things by him. They don't seem to be about HIM. You could ask User:MelanieN, User:Salvio giuliano or User:JamesBWatson for another opinion. The last two are admins, and I think the first ought to be. All three are fair minded and helpful. (So are lots more - I can't list them all...) Peridon (talk) 18:52, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
