Speedy deletion nomination of Michael Guiry


A tag has been placed on Michael Guiry 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Quiggers1P (talk) 15:20, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Nothing wrong?
Yes, there is. It's not an encyclopaedia article, it's a CV. Possibly a problem with conflict of interest - if you are the subject of the article, please look at WP:COI. If you aren't, then you are liable to be blocked from editing for impersonating someone else. I've not deleted the article, because I think there could be notability. You don't show it properly. You must give references (see WP:RS), and use the proper way of writing an article. Look at other articles about scientists. Remember this is an encyclopaedia, not free webspace or a directory. If it is deleted, rebuild it in your userspace and ask advice from regular editors or admins before launching it. Peridon (talk) 17:28, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
