Speedy deletion nomination of Rob wasinger


A tag has been placed on Rob wasinger, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of Rob wasinger 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 help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. De728631 (talk) 22:07, 25 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I've deleted this, because it reads like a campaign flyer or the webpage of a candidate for office. This is an encyclopedia, it is not a webhost. Please review WP:Politician, and WP:N, and WP:BIO, and WP:BLP. I know. But all four come into play here. Being a candidate for office will not satisfy WP:BIO or WP:politician. You need to know that even a well-written article with verifiable info from reliable sources will risk deletion.


 * The thing was a mess and would need a total rewrite. Oh, none of this 1st person pov. Needs to be 3rd person-- no "I". If you like, you can work on it at User:Mcclan10/sandbox. Then ask someone to look at before moving it back to the article space.

Rob Wasinger revisited
I see you were involved in an earlier iteration of this back in 2008. That version was tighter, more factual. With all due respect, Mr Wasinger has been an appointee, but has not held elected office? I do not see him meeting WP:BIO. If he wins, we can have an article. At any rate, when these articles about candidates that don't meet WP:BIO have gone to WP:AFD, they've wound up as redirects to the pertinent congressional race. And so I've recreated the correct caps version and done so. Cheers, Dloh  cierekim  01:41, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
