A tag has been placed on Jacin Giordano, 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 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. Ryan Postlethwaite See the mess I've created or let's have banter 17:01, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

It's not enough to tell us to "look at Google". Your article has to explain, in the text, why the person is notable. Has this artist been shown at notable exhibitions? Are his paintings in museums? Is there independent news coverage? Thanks, NawlinWiki 17:10, 15 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Please stop recreating the article unless you can meet the above concerns. Also see WP:RS for reliable sources which much be used to show notability Ryan Postlethwaite See the mess I've created or let's have banter 17:12, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Hello.


 * Actually, yes, the article has already been deleted; but that will not prevent recreation if you meet the notability guidelines. Read them over carefully, however, because Google hits are usually not sufficient to establish notability.  What you need is coverage from multiple, independent reliable sources (such as book, newspaper articles, etc) that are about the artist (that do not simply mention him in passing, or trivially such as in a schedule or show listing).  Press releases are, as a rule, not adequate to show notability because they issue (directly or indirectly) from the artist himself.   &mdash; Coren (talk) 02:40, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
