Speedy deletion nomination of Matthew Zagursky


A tag has been placed on Matthew Zagursky 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here.  Them From  Space  17:22, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

Please do not write or add to an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you have created yourself. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Click here to contest this speedy deletion and appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you.

Notability criteria
The reason your article is tagged for deletion is because you don't appear to meet Wikipedia's notability criteria. Pages that don't meet the notability standards are usually deleted. The two notability standards that apply to your article are the general notability guideline and the notability guideline for biographies.

In a nutshell the subject of the article needs to have received "significant coverage" in third-party sources in order to have a stand-alone article. So to prove notability you need to provide reliable sources, such as newspapers, magazines, encyclopedias etc. to show that "significant coverage" has been written on the subject (in this case, Matthew Zagursky). First party sources, such as the subject's youtube account or personal webpage, alone are usually not strong enough to show notability.  Them From  Space  17:45, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
