Whoopi Goldberg
Hello, AshlynnPorter. The reason that I changed your referring to her in this article (twice now) from Whoopi is because articles on real-life people (when dealing with further mentions in the article after the first mention) on Wikipedia should refer to them by their last name, not by their first name (unless we're using both her first and last name)...as to keep it formal, not personal. She can be called Whoopi Goldberg, but not Whoopi, as if we personally know her. Not unless the Whoopi part is in a quote from a source. And even if we did personally know her, her article should be kept formal for other readers. You can look at Featured Articles (FA's) such as Angelina Jolie and Katie Holmes for examples. I'll see you around. Flyer22 04:15, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

The article Kyros Christian has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki 05:54, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
