Speedy deletion nomination of Thomas Pearson (Composer)


A tag has been placed on Thomas Pearson (Composer) 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. red dog six (talk) 01:55, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

Thomas Pearson (Composer) sources
Hi Karstairs. In Thomas Pearson (Composer) the 3 bare URLs added as sources do not support the statements in the article. I also notice that returns no Google hits apart from your article. Maybe you got the spelling wrong, but if you post the links to the correct sources here I will put them into the article. Also, since you claim that Pearson has written for film and television, what are your sources? And the sources for the claims of his recording deals?
