Speedy deletion nomination of Araz vartanian


A tag has been placed on Araz vartanian 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.  --Peace world  11:24, 6 July 2011 (UTC)


 * It is not enough to assert that someone is "tremendous... Invigorating... Stupendous... " - these are what Wikipedia calls "peacock terms", unsupported adjectives of praise. But Wikipedia is not for promotion of any kind; its articles require a neutral point of view, facts verifiable from reliable sources.


 * The criterion for inclusion is called notability, and is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones like galleries selling his work, and anything based on press releases.


 * There is more detail in WP:Notability (people), particularly the section WP:ARTIST, and good general advice at WP:Your first article.


 * If having read this advice you want to go ahead with an article, you may like to create a draft in your user space first - see Help:Userspace draft for how to do that. Then you could ask for feedback at WP:Requests for feedback before moving the draft into the main encyclopedia.
