Speedy deletion of Maurice Eugene Dawson Jr.
A tag has been placed on Maurice Eugene Dawson Jr. 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 (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.

"This individual is a 25 year old African American male who is a Program Manager within the Defense & Aerospace industry working in a 96% white state. This individual is a symbol of hope to a younger generation stating that through hard work great things can be achieved. This page is created as a means of sharing the entire story to that younger generation as a motivational piece. Deleting the page means you delete hope...hope for a younger generation to succeed."

is not a reasonable assertion of encyclopedic notability. first you have to do something notable, not just show promise. DGG (talk) 05:44, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
