Speedy deletion nomination of George Flinn
A tag has been placed on George Flinn requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (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. Accounting4Taste: talk 20:59, 11 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Mr. Flinn: I've read the note you left on the above-captioned article and I thought I'd leave you an explanatory note about what exactly was being requested. In essence, Wikipedia's guidelines are very clear about the notability that is required for an individual to be the subject of a Wikipedia article.  You may want to look at the general notability guideline and, more specifically, WP:POLITICIAN.  As well, you would probably benefit from looking at our conflict of interest guidelines with respect to creating an article about yourself, and perhaps WP:Your first article as an overview of the basic requirements for the subjects of Wikipedia articles (notability, reliable sources and verifiability).  Since five of the six references you've contributed are essentially written by you, they're not considered "reliable" in verifying any of the material you've contributed, and the sixth doesn't appear to me to qualify you under the guidelines for politicians (not to mention that its contents were probably under your dictation as well).  If you have any questions about Wikipedia policies, feel free to leave me a note by clicking on the word "talk" after my signature.  Accounting4Taste: talk 21:54, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
