Notability of Alex Hirtle
A tag has been placed on Alex Hirtle requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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 article (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. Dawn Bard (talk) 20:33, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Bluefighter11, I saw that you were upset about the speedy deletion of Alex Hirtle. Please note that all articles on Wikipedia should meet the inclusion guidelines.  This means that the subject has gotten significant coverage in independent, reliable sources.  Generally, that means the person should have been written about in newspapers, magazines, and/or books.  See WP:Notability (people) for more guidelines on when to write articles about people.  Wikipedia also has stricter rules for biographies of living people.  If you have questions, please feel free to ask on my talk page or that of any other experienced Wikipedian.  Good luck! Karanacs (talk) 21:16, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
