A tag has been placed on Zach ratliff, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, 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 assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add  on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. 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. ChrisLamb 14:56, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry but...
I'm truely sorry for your Scoutmaster, but the fact is that the article was not notable (it failed WP:BIO) and it did not assert notibilty. Also I gave you notice of it being tagged along with the other article and if you objected to its deletion you could have placed the hang-on tag. Also if you had notified me before it was deleted I would have removed the speedy delete tag and put it through the normal afd process. Again my thoughts and prayers are with your troop and scoutmaster, but wikipedia is no place to create a tribute. ChrisLamb 14:48, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Also please refrain from attacking me personally(see WP:EQ). I do not think I am better than anyone else(I have requested that one of my own articles be speedy deleted) and I do understand the contributions some people make to there small communitys but that does not make them notable on wikipedia!
