Speedy deletion nomination of Tom Bell (comedian)


A tag has been placed on Tom Bell (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 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 the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can 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 a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. § FreeRangeFrog 23:03, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

Notability
If you want to try again, read WP:BIO first, and then WP:RS which is about the reliable independent sources needed to prove the notability. Sorry, but IMDb isn't a reliable source, as its information isn't usually independent. RS also don't include YouTube, Facebook, blogs, forums, wikis, Twitter, press releases, profiles at theatre or agency sites, LinkedIn, own sites, and a lot more. Frog's pages are not relevant to his work on patrol, just as my pages (on a 1930s prototype car and a duo performing mediaeval Welsh music are not relevant to mine as an admin. There are not up to standard articles surviving from the days before the intensive patrolling came in, and with over four million articles here it takes time to go through them. (There are patrollers who do random article checks, as I do when things are slack.) New pages are checked, and not much slips through. Certainly the author's name is no guarantee that a new article won't get tagged. No free passes for staff. If you aren't sure if your new sources are RS or not, please ask. It's a good idea to create new stuff in user space first. You could use User:Beltclip/DRAFT for instance (just click and save). I'm always willing to give advice, and so are most of the regulars. One I drag in quite often is User:MelanieN who is very fair minded and helpful. Peridon (talk) 17:24, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
