Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles that you have created yourself. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please place  on the page (please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag) and make your case on the article's. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. AgentCDE 21:31, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

The article Anna Hurst has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for 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. See also Conflict of interest, given that you have the same last name as the subject.

I've moved the content of the article to your userspace at User:C.d.hurst/Anna Hurst. I'm not reposting it because it fails several basic Wikipedia guidelines:

1. The article does not assert Ms. Hurst's notability. See WP:BIO. All it says is that she's a 22-year-old artist, that "few people" have seen her work, and that her work has been published in unnamed "underground publications." That falls way short of showing notability.

2. The article is not supported by reliable sources, or indeed any sources other than you. See WP:ATTRIBUTION.

3. It's pretty clear that you're Anna's brother Chris. You should not be writing articles about your family members. See Conflict of interest. If Anna is really notable, someone else will want to write about her. Nevertheless, if you can redo the article so that it asserts notability and backs the assertion with reliable sources, you can repost it. NawlinWiki 22:45, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for assuming that you were Chris Hurst. While I took AgentCDE's comments into account, he is not an admin (see below), and neither admins nor other editors are bound by what one editor says. For the above reasons, I didn't see any reasonable prospect that the article could be improved to meet Wikipedia's standards of notability and reliability. As I also stated above, you are still welcome to try. NawlinWiki 17:43, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry for any confusion I may have caused, but I am not a moderator or admin by any stretch of the imagination. I'm just a humble recent changes patroller.--AgentCDE 02:47, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
