Speedy deletion nomination of William Hill (American Writer)


A tag has been placed on William Hill (American Writer) 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. SYSS Mouse (talk) 01:12, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Regarding the above
Notability is the standard for inclusion in Wikipedia. It is not fame or importance or any other subjective opinion. In order for an article to be published in WIkipedia, you must show the subject is notable. That means that reliable, independent, secondary sources are talking about (or "have made note of") the subject of the article in detail. I see on the article a lot of references to Facebook. That is not a reliable source, as anyone can say anything they want on Facebook and there is no fact checking. I personally have never heard of Atlantis Magazine and it does not have an article here on Wikipedia, so I doubt winning an award from them has much to say about the subject's notability. (and you did not reference that anyway) You will need to show references from reliable newspapers, magazines of general circulation, books published by mainline publishers (not vanity press publishers) TV or radio news or trusted academic journals. You haven't. Until you can, the subject of your article will not be notable. See WP:NAUTHOR for the specifics of the notability policy for authors. Gtwfan52 (talk) 04:17, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
