Speedy deletion of "Adrian Lucas"
A page you created, Adrian Lucas, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how they are important or significant, and thus why they should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for biographies in particular.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thank you. Fieldday-sunday (talk) 10:44, 27 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I've replaced the "speedy deletion" tag with a "proposed deletion" tag which will give a longer period of time before it is deleted. Please see if you can address the issues I have mentioned on that tag, thanks. Marasmusine (talk) 10:49, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi Lucasorg. You are perfectly entitled to contest and remove the "prod" tag, and I won't re-add it. What I would ask you to do is look through WP:Verifiability and WP:Notability, two key Wikipedia guidelines.

Basically, every single statement made in the article needs to be attributable to a reliable, independent source, which you can do with citation templates (see WP:CITE, or I can arrange it if you can tell me which source goes with which statement.)

The general notability guideline suggests that Lucas needs to have been the subject of substantial coverage from independent sources. I can see that you've listed a few links to reviews of performances, which might be sufficient, but let's get the verification pegged first.

Finally, your username suggests that you are either Lucas or are representing him. I'm not asking you to confirm or deny this, but please be aware of our neutral point of view policy (WP:NPOV) which strongly discourages people from editing articles about themselves; see WP:AUTO for more details.

Sorry for posting so many links to policies and guidelines! But I hope they will clarify things for you. Thanks, Marasmusine (talk) 14:39, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
