A tag has been placed on Matthew Waterman, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears 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 an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert 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. To do this, add  on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) 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 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. Slp1 00:12, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

I really am sorry about this because you have obviously put a lot of work into this. The problem is that wikipedia has strict criteria about who gets an article here, and you have be be famous and notable to qualify. So far, Matthew doesn't seem to qualify, but I hope he will in the future since he seems an excellent, well-rounded young man. If you are Matthew, I could put the article on your user page for you, so that it would not be lost. Let me know, and I will be happy to do it for you. You can just leave a message here.

Signatures
Hi, there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! SUBWAYguy 02:25, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

I hope he liked it
Hi KwoodXCJake, Well it looks like you got your wish about Matthew getting to see your article. I hope he liked it. But please don't do this again, as it is a lot of waste of time for a bunch of volunteers to deal with! You obviously have lots of talent for writing and I am sure that you could make some great  permanent contributions to this encyclopedia, so I encourage you to come back and get involved in improving and editing other articles. I expect you would get a kick out of it, as I do. Let me know if you need any advice or help to get you started. Tip number 1: people usually add their comments to the bottom of the page not the top --Slp1 03:06, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
