Speedy deletion nomination of Steve McConaghy
A tag has been placed on Steve McConaghy 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

 * The following is copied from the deleted article talk page. - Dank (push to talk) 19:15, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Art Future, a London based arts programme for emerging artists, wish to develop a page for Steve McConaghy as they believe this is of interest to the population of Wiki. Steve McConaghy has worked with Turner-prize winners and is staging a new exhibition at the Royal Academy, London in June 2009.
 * The problem is that he is "emerging", i.e. not yet well known. Once he his, you can re-add the page. Passportguy (talk) 14:41, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * There is a need for reliable sources, like newspaper or magazine articles that have discussed McConaghy's work and his significance as an artist. Two or three would be enough to verify that he meets the notability criteria. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 14:42, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
