Notability of Dr. robert w. boofer
A tag has been placed on Dr. robert w. boofer requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it 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 page (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. BrucePodger (talk) 23:36, 9 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi. I'm sorry, but the article on your father did not assert encyclopedic significance. Please review the notability guidelines on biographies to learn what kinds of factors Wikipedia looks for in articles about people. Even if your father does qualify, it is not recommended that you write the article about him yourself. Our conflict of interest guidelines set out the reasons why this is discouraged. In short, we find that people have trouble writing neutrally and confining themselves to verifiable information, without relying on personal knowledge. Wikipedia strives to be encyclopedic, which means we hope to be a compendium of previously published information and not a vehicle for spreading new material. If you have any questions about any of these policies and guidelines (tucked behind the colored text), please let me know at my talk page or ask at Wikipedia's help desk, typically manned around the clock by volunteers. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 00:00, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
