Notability of Tamati Ouellet
The article Tamati Ouellet has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, individual animal, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, did 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 indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Note that notability is not inherited - just being the child of someone notable is not enough. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Wikipedia is not a gossip magazine
This is an encyclopedia; we do not do rumours and uncited "is known to". The Verifiability policy is that "any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source." This is particularly important for WP:Biographies of living persons. You should read the whole of that policy, but in particular it says that: "'Contentious material about living persons... that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion.'"
