Speedy deletion nomination of Ben Landry


A tag has been placed on Ben Landry requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Peridon (talk) 20:38, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Copied from Talk:Ben Landry: Wikipedia is not a place for 'web pages', unlike Facebook and MySpace. It is an encyclopaedia. and unless you can show more notability - and references for it - the article will go. I am in fact male, but I have never had a problem with having female bosses or line managers over me. (Oddly enough, one of my forenames is more usually associated with females so Ban and I have something in common...) Peridon (talk) 21:12, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
