Proposed deletion of Gav Cantrell


The article Gav Cantrell has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

August 2010
You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, instead of writing it yourself, as you did at Gav Cantrell. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to No original research, Neutral point of view, and Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you.  elektrik SHOOS  19:44, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Gav Cantrell. While objective prose about products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Thank you. Footwarrior (talk) 20:08, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Gav Cantrell
A tag has been placed on Gav Cantrell 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles – see the Article Wizard.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you.  elektrik SHOOS  20:43, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Please stop. Continuing to remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Gav Cantrell, without resolving the problem that the template refers to may be considered vandalism. Further edits of this type may result in your being blocked from editing Wikipedia.  elektrik SHOOS  23:03, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Regarding the sources I keep deleting from Gav Cantrell
They are self-published sources, meaning they're affiliated with and directly edited by you, and thus do not qualify as reliable sources. Please stop adding them as they are useless in verifying information in the article.  elektrik SHOOS  23:06, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * You are welcome to add them as external links but they cannot be used as sources.  elektrik SHOOS  23:15, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Gav Cantrell. Please use the template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:42, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
