A tag has been placed on Mark Roberts - Photographer, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems 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 Wikipedia. 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 feel 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. --Hiddekel 22:04, 27 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi. It appears you're trying to use the  feature to dispute the SD.  I'm afraid you did it incorrectly though...  First of all, don't delete the  tag.  Second, ADD the  tag (and please note the specific brackets you need to use there).  Finally, go to the article's talk page and explain your rationale for wanting to keep the article.  Meantime, I've put back the  tag which I'm sure you removed in error rather than out of deliberate intent.  Good luck.  --Hiddekel 22:19, 27 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Since I'm afraid the article might get deleted before you get the chance, I added the tag for you, but you still need to explain your rationale in the article's talk page.  Good luck again! :) --Hiddekel 22:23, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
