Speedy deletion nomination of Michael Leander Nielsen


A tag has been placed on Michael Leander Nielsen 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 of the article is important or significant: 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 you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  at the top of the article, immediately below the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate), and providing your reasons for contesting on the article's talk page, 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. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

You may want to read the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. Peridon (talk) 18:29, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Michael Leander Nelson
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! While we appreciate all contributions, your recent article Michael Leander Nelson has been deleted as a promotional article. Basically, the content of the article served only to advertise for the subject and was not encyclopedic in tone or function. I did read your speedy delete contest, however you should be aware that "fame" and "importance" do not on their own qualify a person for a wikipedia article. We need reliable, secondary sources showing independent media coverage. If you have any questions or need assistance, please feel free to contact me and I'd be glad to help out. l'aquatique [talk]  21:09, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
