Speedy deletion nomination of Stephen Michael Gaggero


A tag has been placed on Stephen Michael Gaggero 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.

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; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 20:06, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Stephen Michael Gaggero


A tag has been placed on Stephen Michael Gaggero requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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.

Stephen Michael Gaggero
Hi. I just read your comments at Talk:Stephen Michael Gaggero, but I'll reply here as that page is sure to be deleted soon. If Governor Schwarzenegger issued controversial pardons, then what you'd need to do is first find several references that demonstrate that they are notable (have a look at WP:N to learn about what Wikipedia accepts as notability, and WP:RS to see what constitutes reliable sources), and then write about them in your own words - don't just copy the actual pardon statement verbatim. Should you be able to do that, I think a separate article would still probably not be warranted - but an additional section at Arnold Schwarzenegger might be appropriate. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 20:21, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Also, if you want to take your time over developing an article, see Help:Userspace draft for how to make a draft in your userspace without the risk of it being speedily deleted while incomplete. You can ask for comments on your draft at WP:Requests for feedback, if you like, and move it to the main encyclopedia space when it is ready. JohnCD (talk) 22:35, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

A couple more suggestions. First, please don't keep recreating the page Talk:Stephen Michael Gaggero, as we really only create Talk pages for articles that actually exist - just comment here on your own Talk page, as those who have chatted to you are almost certainly watching and will see it. Secondly, when you do have a better version of the article ready, I still suggest you do not create it under Mr Gaggero's name, as it is not he who is notable, it is Schwarzenegger, and this is really a story about Schwarzenegger. Any new Stephen Michael Gaggero article is likely to be deleted again, even if it is well written, as a single event is not considered sufficient grounds for notability - see WP:BLP1E for info. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:06, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
