Grant Lyman
A tag has been placed on Grant Lyman, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, 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 assert 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  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on 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.

Also, please note the Wikipedia policies regarding editing articles about yourself, or topics you have a vested interest in. Baccyak4H (Yak!) 14:21, 2 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Please do not ask questions about why your page was deleted on Wikipedia talk:Why was my page deleted?. Instead, follow the procedure outlined at Why was my page deleted?. Thanks, Sandstein 15:33, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

(outdent) By the way, I did point out to the deleter of the article that I saw you had placed "hangon" on the page. However, please stay calm and civil. The article mentioned no reliable sources and so was not verifiable. Furthermore, it made no assertion that the topic was notable. These things are required for articles. If you think you can write an article that does do these things, why not start it in your userspace (say, User:Drunkmortal/Grant Lyman) and when it's ready, move to its own article page? That way you can ask for feedback for what still needs to be done. Baccyak4H (Yak!) 15:59, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
