Speedy deletion nomination of Michael Swaim (Comedian)


A tag has been placed on Michael Swaim (Comedian) 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, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organised event, 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 your 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, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the page be "userfied" or emailed to you.

Swaim is not sufficiently significant in his own right to have an article. However, I support the view that it's reasonable to have his name redirect to the Those Aren't Muskets! article. —C.Fred (talk) 02:54, 20 February 2013 (UTC)


 * I disagree. If Daniel O'Brien is sufficiently significant in his own right to have an article, then Michael Swaim is just as sufficiently significant.  If Michael Swaim is not, then the article for Daniel O'Brien should also be deleted. —annacatt (talk) 03:07, 20 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Other stuff exists. Each article is taken on its own merits. Whether or not subject X has an article cannot be used as the measuring stick for whether subject Y should have an article. —C.Fred (talk) 03:10, 20 February 2013 (UTC)


 * That said, if Swaim's article cited as many reliable sources as O'Brien's does, it would not be tagged for speedy deletion. —C.Fred (talk) 03:12, 20 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Given that people have said on the deletion page that it will be updated tonight with reliable sources, perhaps marking this for speedy deletion is premature. —annacatt (talk) 03:14, 20 February 2013 (UTC)


 * The burden is on the creator(s) of the article to make sure that a valid assertion of significance is in place from the first edits to the article. If you like, though, I can move it into incubator space at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Michael Swaim while you work on it. —C.Fred (talk) 03:18, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
