Speedy deletion of O. James Noon Jr.
A tag has been placed on O. James Noon Jr. 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. Clubmarx (talk) 03:44, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Copied from User talk:KieferSkunk:

I wrote the article O. James Noon Jr. It is a worthy article because he served in the Army during Vietnam and lived through a part of our history that should be remembered in many different ways, including this- my family was prepared to contribute to it today now, thanks to you, you've ruined the 1 year anniversary of his death for my family and I. I hope that makes you feel good - jerk Regards - Dtnoon (talk) 11:29, 15 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Boy, I sure do attract a lot of hostility by following Wikipedia's policies, don't I? Your article was deleted because it did not assert how this person was notable and had been covered by third-party reliable sources.  I have no doubt that Mr. Noon was a great man and sacrificed much, but unless he's someone of significant note in the world (in which case he will have been covered), we can't just put up an article for every single person that ever existed.  Wikipedia is not a directory or an indiscriminate list of information.


 * That said, if you can provide such sources, you are more than welcome to recreate the article and cite them. The article will then be allowed to stay.  But please make sure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and the criteria for speedy deletion.  Thank you. &mdash; KieferSkunk (talk) &mdash; 14:50, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
