Speedy deletion nomination of Dalian artanian


A tag has been placed on Dalian artanian requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: 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.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  at the top of the article, immediately below the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate), and providing your reasons for contesting on the article's talk page, 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. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

You may want to read the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. Hammersoft (talk) 20:35, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Please understand that barring presentation of secondary sources supporting the notability of this person, an article on them will never be accepted. A self published author is hardly notable. There's millions of them. Please see Notability (people). Thank you, --Hammersoft (talk) 20:55, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Welcome from a volunteer mentor (a real person)
Hello David, as part of the current WikiGuides trial program, I've been given a list of 10 new editors to contact and offer to assist. Wikipedia can be frustrating to start out with, and there are a ton of long policy documents, technical discussion, and such that can be alienating. That said, a lot of the basics aren't too bad, and a lot of the bumps are easier with someone to help you roll with them. I see you had some trouble with an article getting deleted; I can help with that. Feel free to write me at any point with any question by hitting the "Talk" button in my signature and posting on my Talk page. Give me a shout, MatthewVanitas (talk) 20:27, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
