A tag has been placed on Jack Mandelbaum 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. Snowfire51 (talk) 05:32, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Jack Mandelbaum
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Jack Mandelbaum, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add db-author to the top of Jack Mandelbaum. slakr \ talk / 06:35, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Deletion removed
I have removed the PROD (that's one of three kind of deletions at Wikipedia) and revised the article so that I believe it now meets Wikipedia standards for notability. At any rate, the only way it could be deleted now is if it's nominated for a full discussion. I'll keep an eye on the article to see if this happens. Because Mr. Mandelbeum was the subject of an award-winning book, I'm confident he more than meets the requirements to be in Wikipedia. regards, Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:44, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
