Speedy deletion nomination of Edgard Youssef Yazbeck
Hello Mfsad,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Edgard Youssef Yazbeck for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Barney the barney barney (talk) 13:53, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

The article was deleted because it showed no reason why an encyclopedia should have an article about Mr Yazbeck. Wikipedia is not a place to document family history - see WP:NOTDIR #2 Genealogical entries. In order to have an article, there must be evidence of WP:Notability, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people not connected with the subject thought him significant enough to write substantial comment about? For more information see WP:Notability (people) and WP:Notability (summary), and good general advice in WP:Your first article.

If you want to take time over making an article, click on Help:Userspace draft and fill in the title. That will make a draft page where you can develop the article, with a link to send it when it is ready to WP:Articles for creation, where an experienced user will check it and either accept it or give you feedback.

If you are Mr Yazbeck, or are related to him, please read Wikipedia is not about YOU and the WP:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 09:46, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
