Deciding which pages to delete
Wikipedia has a set of pages that define which pages can be deleted; they're all based on Deletion policy. The most common case in which I delete a page is if it qualifies for speedy deletion; this is the situation with your "Dustin Culp" article. As you can see at WP:CSD, there are multiple reasons for speedy deletion; if an article fits any of them, it may be deleted at any time. Someone had tagged the article for deletion under criterion A7, which allows the deletion of articles that don't explain why their subjects are significant. In short — being a reality TV contestant isn't a sufficient claim of significant as far as speedy deletion goes, because most reality TV contestants are far from qualifying for Wikipedia articles. Similarly, being a college football player isn't enough; most football players are nowhere near our notability criteria. Finally, please note that most of the references that you used on that page aren't the type of references that Wikipedia standards require — Myspace and blogs, for example, aren't reliable sources. Do you have any more questions? If so, please leave me a note on my talk page just like you did earlier today. Nyttend (talk) 17:08, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
