Speedy deletion of Erik D. Harshman
A tag has been placed on Erik D. Harshman 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 notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance 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.

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), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. TheMile (talk) 01:43, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

 * You should try reading our criteria for inclusion carefully before pressing further. While "worth" and "significance" are nice concepts, we are looking for more tangible and clear demonstrations.  This is why we have criteria for inclusion, as Wikipedia is a tertiary source of information, which uses primary and secondary sources as its references.  Wikipedia cannot rely on its own articles and statements to prove notability. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 14:51, 5 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Even if a case had been made for the notability of this person, the tone of the deleted articles was so blatantly advertising that they would have been deleted as "spam" anyway. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  15:18, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
