Speedy deletion nomination of Earvin Eugene


A tag has been placed on Earvin Eugene 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. —Largo Plazo (talk) 19:06, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

June 2015
Please do not write or add to an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you. —Largo Plazo (talk) 19:06, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... (your reason here) --Earvyearv92 (talk) 20:39, 4 June 2015 (UTC) I am a fan of Earvin Eugene and he has gained a lot of attention statewide for his business. It being featured in school articles and websites. All his information is available online and doesn't violate copyrights onto others.


 * Hello. I'm afraid that being known around one's school doesn't really seem sufficient to justify including somebody in an international encyclopedia. Wikipedia has standards for inclusion, which include what's known here as notability. An article about a person needs to meet either the WP:general notability guidelines or guidelines applicable to biographies. Based on what the article says about him and my inability to find anything qualifying him under these guidelines via Google, I don't believe he meets the requirements for inclusion.


 * Also, if you aren't him, as you say above, you shouldn't be identifying yourself with his name, as you appear to be doing with your user name. Are you Earvin Eugene? —Largo Plazo (talk) 20:51, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
