Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page 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 confirm its subject's notability under the 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. Wuhwuzdat (talk) 15:21, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Comment
"Danny", your user page is one of the nicest ones I have seen, better than 99% of the others, but, the same content matter does not necessarily make a good encylopedia article. Wuhwuzdat (talk) 16:31, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Jakes.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Jakes.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:51, 13 January 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. dave pape (talk) 16:51, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to No original research, Neutral point of view, and Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later.

Review of article
I reviewed your old user page, which contained what I assume you meant to be an article.

As written, the article has two flaws, one likely fatal, one fixable. The likely fatal flaw is that there is nothing in the article that indicates this person meets Wikipedia's general notability requirements, its notability requirements for people, its notability for music-related articles, or notability for academics. In particular, being a hired musician on a gold record doesn't cut it, and merely having a few patents doesn't make it either. The non-fatal flaw is that none of the information is referenced from reliable, non-trivial, third-party sources that are independent of the subject.

In order for this person to have an article about him, you will need to find reliable sources that provide enough evidence that he meets Wikipedia's notability requirements. If you do not, the article will probably be nominated for articles for deletion and it will probably be deleted. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  16:39, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
