Speedy deletion nomination of Robert Gartside


A tag has been placed on Robert Gartside 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 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. red dog six (talk) 22:04, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

About Wikipedia
Archvats, I'm sorry that your first attempt at editing Wikipedia has been met with such a disapproving reception. You need to understand why this is. Wikipedia is known as "the free encyclopedia anyone can edit," but that does not mean that articles are accepted about any and every subject. There are criteria for what makes a subject "notable" enough for inclusion in an international encyclopedia. For people, those criteria are spelled out at WP:BIO. The problem with this article about Robert Gartside is not in the way it is written, and rewriting won't help. The problem is that there just doesn't seem to be any evidence from independent reliable sources that Mr. Gartside is notable as Wikipedia defines it. Please don't be discouraged if this article gets deleted. I would suggest you start your Wikipedia editing by making small improvements to existing articles while you learn your way around here. --MelanieN (talk) 16:16, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
