Speedy deletion nomination of Licorice Kitten
A tag has been placed on Licorice Kitten 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles – see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. E♴ (talk) 01:28, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Howdy, I saw your note on Talk:Licorice Kitten and wanted to address your concern. Unfortunately, Wikipedia requires the subject of a biographical article to have been the subject of multiple, substantive press or other independently sourced reports.  This assures the content within the article is verifiable as well as notable.  For full details about the biography guideline, see WP:BIO.  Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.  Thanks, --TeaDrinker (talk) 02:02, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your note (although be careful about personal attacks). I can appreciate your frustration.  If you think she is likely to meet WP:BIO, let me know.  But please understand there are reasons why notability of biographical subjects is required.  One is to ensure Wikipedia remains a high quality source of information, and that means multiple neutral editors working on various articles.  In many cases there are not enough editors to read, revise, edit, and verify content about everyone. However more importantly, at least with biographical articles, it is important that there be the resources to actually verify the information. The person needs to have been covered substantively in the press, so that someone can verify the information.  Otherwise we may well be spreading falsehoods about people; it is not to say you're not trustworthy, but verifiability is very important.  Finally, people who are not public figures in some way may not want to have Wikipedia articles about them.  Imagine if the subject of an article were arrested for a DUI; if that is a notable fact about their life, judged by press coverage for instance, Wikipedia is obligated to cover it (content must be neutral, not written to favor or oppose a person).  However Wikipedia bios are often the highest link on Google, and that information suddenly becomes very public. I'm sure she's a great person, but I'm afraid Wikipedia is not the place for her bio.  --TeaDrinker (talk) 03:16, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
