Speedy deletion nomination of Hastings Shade
A tag has been placed on Hastings Shade requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Giants27 ( c  |  s ) 21:19, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello! It's good to see a new editor interesting in writing about contemporary Native American people. If there's anything I can assist you with, let me know. When writing articles about Native people, it's often a challenge to establish notability, since the general public tend to not know who is and isn't notable within a tribal community. So many of the articles get threatened with deletion. One thing you might chose to do is create a user page for new biographies (for example, User:Atsutsa/hastings_shade) and create a rough draft of your new article there. Make sure you have plenty of references in line before you actually publish the article, which will help establish the notability of the subject and protect it from deletion. I hope you keep writing for Wikipedia - it could definitely benefit from more Native voices. Best of luck! ᎦᎳ! -Uyvsdi (talk) 17:26, 14 July 2009 (UTC)Uyvsdi
