Speedy deletion nomination of Rusty Baker


A tag has been placed on Rusty Baker 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. JamesBWatson (talk) 21:25, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia!
 - - - W e l c o m e - - -

Thank you sir! I truly appreciate the welcome. I'm glad that there are people that try to help new editors with their learning curve. I must say, you are a rare breed: every article I've written has faced heavy opposition so far. You are the first person kind enough to offer me a helping hand instead of deleting my articles. As for any help, I think I've got everything under control. I'm a fast learner and an experienced writer and I beleive I understand everything. I will seek your guidence if I need help though. Once again, thank you--Johncoracing48 (talk) 22:22, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
 * You can add me to the list of people that you can contact. I'm an experienced contributor with various racing topics with several Good Articles on racing topics (Mario, AK, the Eagle, Richmond, + 1 being developed offline) to my credit. Let me know if you need any help with writing or if problems come up. That next speedy deletion nomination shouldn't be happening. Be especially careful to not upload images except if you took them yourself. Images are very tricky and I'm an admin on Wikipedia's sister images site. Please ask before you try anything - everyone gets images wrong at first. If your an experienced writer - I know some articles that would benefit from a review...

Images/thoughts on articles priority
My philosophy with images is to only take duplicate improvement pictures when you can significantly improve on what exists. People get upset when they come back to find their image missing if it isn't way better. Anything with no picture is always a good idea, even if the result is poor.

The article that would benefit the most from a picky review is the Alan Kulwicki article. I had nominated the article as a Featured Article (the absolute best articles), but it failed. I think it's very close. As always, you can work on whenever/whatever you want. This whole website is purely voluntary. Overall, the U.S. racing biography articles that are read the most are Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt. NASCAR might get even more hits, but I've done a lot of the work on the history. So these are the most important articles IMHO.  Royal broil  01:17, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Wow, how interesting! I'm obviously a fan of Kulwicki's or else I wouldn't have worked on the article. I have the Wisconsin connection with him. I even drove a fair distance to Milwaukee to photograph his gravestone & his park. I lucked out an was able to photograph his Winston Cup trophy at the park.


 * It's very helpful to get strong fan's opinion and take on the facts. Who knows more about the person than a fan? The fan would able to be the most critical about how the facts are presented and portrayed. The real problem arises when the fan writes the facts using "peacock" terms. I've had enough people review it to weed the bad words out, but there were very few because I avoid / look for them. I've done this long enough that it's not a problem. I look forward to your in-depth review (as time permits). Thank you!


 * I used to pit for a team that topped out with an intermediate class at the local track (street stock). Now I track chase within Wisconsin, hitting the major tracks in the eastern side. My interests are diverse, including stockcar, off-road, ice racing, and even some karting & motocross. I've even watched bicycle, snowmobile oval, snocross and powerboat racing.  Royal broil  04:52, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * If you're interested to do another review, I just rewrote the David Pearson article from scratch. I nominated it for the Did You Know (DYK) section on the main page for the best new content. I have also nominated it as a Good Article (GA), which is the second best type of article on Wikipedia. GA has a formal certification-type process where an independent experienced contributor will review the article to see if it meets moderately hard standards of quality and neutral point of view, etc. The article is much less polished than Kulwicki's.

Gunselman
Six races, none of which were completed, doesn't really stand strongly enough. The article about Gunselman himself is fine, but his team doesn't really deserve an article yet. Plus, articles about smaller/newer teams have a tendency to attract spam. --D-Day (talk) 19:23, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Can you provide a reliable source for this restoration of unsourced content? Cunard (talk) 21:11, 21 March 2010 (UTC) for. Please stop. You are welcome to make useful contributions after the block expires. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by adding the text below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.


 * Without commenting on the case itself, you will probably want to respond to the accusations/evidence presented at Sockpuppet investigations/Johncoracing48 (specifically, the case archive). Such a response could be posted here. Also I've consolidated your pair of open unblock requests into one, since they seemed to have duplicate text; seems like simple housekeeping, so hopefully this isn't a big deal either way. – Luna Santin (talk) 00:22, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
