Speedy deletion nomination of M.M.Wake


A tag has been placed on M.M.Wake 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 of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about it 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 you can assert the importance of the subject,. Clicking that button 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 article's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

See the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. Yunshui 雲&zwj;水 14:58, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Reason for speedy deletion of M.M. Wake
Hi Mouse67,

Thank you for your contributions. However, one of the fundamental tenets of Wikipedia is that article subjects must be notable, that is to say, they have been reported on in independent sources which can be used to verify the information in the article. Unfortunately, there do not appear to be any sources beyond Gail Lawler's own website which account for her pseudonym's notability (indeed, Ms Lawler herself has not got a Wikipedia article, for precisely the same reason). Since the website is not independent, it cannot be used to verify her claim to notability.

To get an idea of the sort of criteria which article subjects need to pass, take a look at the guidelines for authors, books and just about anything. If M.M. Wake or Gail Lawler can be shown to pass any of these, then an article on her will almost certainly be kept.

Best wishes, Yunshui 雲&zwj;水 15:15, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
