Speedy deletion nomination of Dawn simpson
A tag has been placed on Dawn simpson 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. ErikTheBikeMan (talk) 22:09, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Hello
I see that you are trying to start an article. But before you do, you might want to take a look at how things are done in Wikipedia. In your text you describe the work of an artist, this should be written as if its written by a neutral person. The things you write must be verifiable, even better when you add references and sources. Next I want to point you to Biographies of living persons. And my last advice to you is, have a look at how other articles on Wikipedia are written. Good luck with writing! Sitethief (talk) 22:27, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Last piece of advice, maybe you want to write your article in your userspace, where its not public and where you can work on it without been disturbed by other people. Sitethief (talk) 22:29, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Copied from deleted article
I'm copying your text over here so that you don't lose it. The problem with the Dawn simpson article was that, as far as I can tell, she won't meet our WP:BIO standards (there were no hits for her in the Google news archives, and the description in the article gave me the impression she's not widely noted yet for her work). Before re-creating the article in mainspace, find independent, reliable sources that establish notability. Here's the text: (- Dank (push to talk) 00:42, 26 May 2009 (UTC))

Dawn Simpson is a landscape artist in her native Scottish countryside.

She was born in Scotland on November 17, 1968, but due to her parents being in the military, Simpson was brought up in various countries including Germany, Scotland, England and Ireland.

Though without any formal further qualifications in Art, Simpson has created in excess of 100 paintings to date, and exceeding 300 drawings. She is currently studying BTEC Art & Design Diploma at Edinburgh's Telford College, looking to further her professional skills to pursue her dream as an Art & Design Teacher.

Although Simpson's main focus in her artwork is the natural landscape around her, from the bleak moorlands to the green leafy forestry, a passion of Simpson's is horses. Many pieces of work incorporate horses, whether it be a stocky Highland pony to a fine, tall Thoroughbred, with bulging muscles and flared nostrils.
