Speedy deletion of Byron wade
A tag has been placed on Byron wade 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 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, 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 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Mayalld (talk) 16:08, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:31, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Now what you need to do is explain why this person is notable, and add a few links to newspaper articles, magazine articles, or books that have been written about him. Once his notability is clear, you'll be free to develop the article. As I'm sure we can guess, we get a lot of articles about people who aren't really notable enough for an international encyclopedia to need an article about them, so that rule gets enforced pretty quickly, but if this person really does meet the guideline, you just need to make that more clear. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:34, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
