Speedy deletion nomination of Brian Bregenzer


A tag has been placed on Brian Bregenzer 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.  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 15:02, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Your hangon rationale
You wrote, ''This page is an informative piece about a young man who has maintained stellar academics in a rough neighborhood. It is an inspirational piece about how even a young man in a bad place can become a leader in our world today.''

The problem that I see is that the man does not seem to meet our notability guidelines, that is, he has not been the subject of non-trivial coverage by third-party sources generally considered reliable. Furthermore, Wikipedia is not the right place for "inspirational pieces," it is the place for strictly factual articles whose content can be verified. If you still want to write an "inspirational piece" about Brian Bregenzer, may I suggest you use Myspace instead? --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 15:25, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
