Speedy deletion nomination of Matthew Scotti


A tag has been placed on Matthew Scotti requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. DreamFieldArts (talk) 16:25, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

advice
M yfriend, we're NPT Facebook. I do not want to discourage you, but to urge you to  help us by improving our coverage on  topics in your area. For example, we have very sketchy articles on most towns in your area, and they need to expanded. Local newspaper are good sources for this--they don't have to be on the net. (We regard every populated town and even village as worth an article, but I'd urge you to work on the larger towns first). And everyone who was ever a member of the legislature parliament is also an appropriate subject for an article. You just need reliable sources documented the career. When you do write these articles,I have two key points of advice:

1/ do not copy from a web site; rewrite the information from scratch

2/ put in a reference to a published source at the very first edit. This is particularly important for articles about living people, which will be deleted if there are no references.

If I can help you further, let me know on my user talk page.  DGG ( talk ) 16:38, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

In response to your feedback
Please read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:N to better understand what Wikipedia rules are concerning "significant" and "important". Once you understand that, if you have a subject that you think is notable, go ahead and create an article, again - but this time, be absolutely sure that you cite your sources. And that they are *good* sources (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:RS ).

If you can't find good sources, or you fail to cite them (put them in, as footnotes), then yes, your articles are going to continue to be deleted. Wikipedia editors always want more articles, but there *are* rules here.
