Edmund Wall article
A tag has been placed on Edmund Wall, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems 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 Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) 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.

I don't think Ed Wall is notable enough to have his own wikipedia article. The only thing notable about him is that he is chairman of a public trasit agency & recently got arrested. I think it is sufficient to cover both of these aspects on the MARTA page. Just because he was arrested does not mean we need an article about his marital status and work history on wikipedia.

User:JMLS2007 Hey Biomdeng, do you work for this guy or his lawyer or something? The fact that he has been extensively covered by the media leads to the fact that he is notable enough to have his wikipedia article. I know of people far less known that have their own articles.


 * Nope, I don't know him at all...I think the scandal is important on the MARTA article to include with the discussion of MARTA board members (I was one of the first people to add it). Why do you think he deserves his own article?  None of the other board members have articles.  And none of the other people getting caught at the airport bathrooms have articles.  Sure wikipedia does have articles on less notable people, but that doesn't mean it is a good thing (or in line with wikipedia standards) either.  Also I was only the one who tagged the article, an administrator decided to delete the article.  Biomedeng 21:56, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
