User talk:Hylar71

A tag has been placed on Paul S. Fleming, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it 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 assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (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. Blueboy96 13:06, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Paul Fleming deletion
I apologize for not logging in very often and for wasting your time with my post. Obviously, I should have been more prepared to do it right when I posted it originally. However, notability can be subjective even under the stated guideline. I was, by no means, finished editing this article, so perhaps it is entirely my fault that you did not see any notability. However, to firemen and within the city of Atlanta, I'd wager there is notability since Paul Fleming was the assistant fire chief for the city of Atlanta and was often discussed in the Atlanta Journal Constitution during his career for brave or heroic acts as a fireman. Nonetheless, he probably would not be significantly notable outside the state of Georgia. So, my question is, are the guidelines not really subjective? So, for clarification, it is intended that this content be disallowed, even though it would likely occur in a good biographical dictionary of Georgians but probably not in an encyclopedia? Thank you.
