Speedy deletion nomination of Katie Farris


A tag has been placed on Katie Farris, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of Katie Farris and leave a note on |the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Bped1985 (talk) 01:54, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion of Katie Ferris #2

I'm not sure if it was you simply using another account, but make sure you NEVER delete a speedy deletion tag from an article. It is a very serious offense. The issue with the article is that it is written in a way that heavily promotes her new book, along with the fact that it does not assert her notability. In other words, what makes her so special that she deserves an article in an encyclopedia? Make sure you start a new subject when posting a new topic on a talk page, as you had failed to do so on mine. Also remember to sign your posts.Bped1985 (talk) 03:44, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

The article is tons better, the only hitch I currently see with it would be the awards given. They aren't necessarily well known like a Pulitzer. Which, again can cause notability issues. What I would suggest is maybe putting a short blurb in the article about what those awards are. I will remove the tag for speedy deletion. Keep up the good work with the article!

Sure, I will remove the 2 remaining tags. But I can't guarantee that another editor might not re-insert them. That isn't up to me. What would really make this article solid, is something more on Katie's life. The article lacks that. And is it's crucial in supporting notability. Take your time on this one though. Now that the speedy tags have been removed, you've got some time to dink around. Good luck and happy fact hunting! Bped1985 (talk) 05:58, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
