Proposed deletion of Clayton's Kids


The article Clayton's Kids has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Seems to advertise more then explain it's notability.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hearst
You cannot add people who don't already have Wikipedia articles, and you cannot add people whose own articles fail to mention any connection to Hearst. Bearcat (talk) 22:44, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Editing of new contributions
I was raised in Hearst Ontario and recently helped publish a book about the early pioneers. This was comprised of 106 stories written by the families of these original pioneers, and in some cases written by the pioneers themselves. Having lived and been associated with Hearst for more than 60 years I consider that my awareness of the town and its people should carry some weight when it comes to knowledgable sources and information.

I submitted a page about this History Book that is the first record of these pioneers, and I added some notable people to the Hearst Ontario page.

Respectfully I would like to know where the knowledge and expertise lies with the editors who have removed my posts. Do any of you even know where Hearst Ontario is?

There seems to be a closed shop approach here where new contributors cannot gain access. There also seems to be a catch 22 situation in some of the comments. For instance Bearcat advises me that I cannot add notable people who are not already in Wikipedia and whose articles do not mention Hearst. Help me here, some of the folks I mentioned are no longer with us and have to rely on people who knew them to carry their message.

Another comment I got was that family historians were not reliable sources. Pardon me, if not the people who lived the experiences who then?

Again, respectfully I am curious about the expertise of the editors who are challenging posts about Hearst Ontario. Please tell me how you came to know more about my hometown than me.
