Speedy deletion nomination of Rodney Renton


A tag has been placed on Rodney Renton 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. AlexHOUSE (talk) 17:09, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Rodney Renton
Hi there! Thanks for making your case on the article's talk page. Basically, nobody's doubting Mr. Renton's poetic prowess or storytelling skills-- the article simply isn't sourced, and doesn't establish enough notability to merit inclusion in Wikipedia. Every article has to meet up to certain guidelines and pass certain tests in order to stay up-- fortunately, if the subject really is notable enough, it's relatively easy to make sure a good article isn't deleted. If you can cite a newspaper or magazine article about him, any coverage in reliable, third-party, independent sources, the article will have a much better shot. If you have any questions at all, feel free to ask-- go ahead and reply here on your talk page and I'll be more than happy to do what I can. AlexHOUSE (talk) 20:01, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
