Speedy deletion nomination of Michael Bastian
A tag has been placed on Michael Bastian, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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.

 * Hello, and welcome. I don't think your article was spam, so I've removed the deletion nomination and added some detail to the article.  Please post at my talk page if you'd like a hand with expanding it: fashion's not reallly my area. :-) All the best, MuffledThud (talk) 09:28, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Allan Ides


The article Allan Ides has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * fails WP:BIO, no one else has written about this person

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. We need independent references to who that others have written about the person. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:56, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Nomination of Laura Friedman for deletion

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Laura Friedman until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. I like to saw logs! (talk) 07:13, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
