Re deletion of 2020mad
Hi Martinspa. I deleted the above article because I assessed it as being eligible under the Speedy deletion criteria, most specifically failing to provide any demonstration or assertion that the subject is notable for inclusion here (not to mention, it was completely unreferenced). If the artist's only claim to notoriety is to have planted a few lilac-painted gnomes about town, that hardly seems to match up with the notability guidelines we have around here- I'd suggest you take a look at WP:BIO and WP:NOT for some comparisions on what is generally accepted sufficient for mention here. Perhaps he is an "up-and-coming artist", but without any demonstration of notability even within Leamington Spa (let alone a wider community), I don't think there'd be any consensus for the article's inclusion. I could be wrong, if you want to pursue it you can take it to Deletion Review for a second opinion. Regards, --cjllw | TALK  03:25, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
