Speedy deletion nomination of John Lohn


A tag has been placed on John Lohn 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 the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. NtheP (talk) 16:25, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

The trouble was you didn't tell us anything about him - you just put a load of links up leading to articles he's written. There has to be some text as well about him. Have a read of the general notability guidelines and writing your first article and then think about how to create and article. Just because he's appearing on the BBC isn't enough to establish his notability. NtheP (talk) 17:32, 1 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Your "article" didn't have any content - it was just a list of links. At a minimum, you need to say who he is and what he has done, and give some indication of why he is important or significant enough to have an article in an encyclopedia. See WP:Your first article for advice. I have "userfied" the list of links to User:Dana.caragine/John Lone where you can work on the article. The box at the top gives a link to useful advice, and a "Submit" button which will send it to WP:Articles for creation, where experienced users will chec it, and weithr it will be accepted or you will be given feedback.

 * Additional comment - those links all seem to be to things written by him. To establish notability requires showing references to comment about him by sources independent of him. JohnCD (talk) 17:39, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
