Welcome to Wikipedia! We could really use your help to create new content, but your recent additions do not assert the notability of their subjects and have been reverted or removed. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. ➨  ЯEDVERS  20:12, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi, please do not remove deletion notices from articles. Doing so is vandalism and does not stop the debate on whether the article should be deleted. If you wish to comment on the proposed deletion, please follow the link in the article. Thanks, Gwernol 12:30, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

This is a brilliant and dedicated artist and publisher that should be recognized as a leader and champion of free expression and speech. He is known throughout the US and Canada as a prolific writer and designer. If we continue to darken the lessor known warriors of this unalienable human right, we may all suffer the depression of our freedoms. In addition, as older noted publishers of Cann's nature pass viv-a-vis Ginzberg, we need to push for recognition of these new soldiers of freedom. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Denkefriede (talk • contribs).


 * Hi Denkefriede, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. This means its mission is to report on subjects that have already received recognition. In particular this means that Wikipedia is not a place to promote subjects that haven't yet become notable. The fact that you refer to Cann is someone who "should be recognized as a leader..." rather than someone who "is recognized..." tells me he isn't yet notable. Once his contributions have hit the national stage and are reported by reliable, independent sources that can be verified he will undoubtably get a Wikipedia article.

Cann is known throughout the US and Canada. You may not be familiar with Cann; however, check court records, library of congress, and order a copy of his publications if you like. In addition, his academic accomplishments include work published nationally. Ans yes "should" as in this debate "should" not be taken place because other people may not have done their homework. If we go through all of the people in wikipedia, I gurantee we will not know most of them and the ones we do is only because they poeple who interest us.
