Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles that you have created yourself. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please place on the page and make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Tracy rice, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be a biographical account about a person, group of people, or band, but it does not indicate how or why he/she/they is/are notable. If you can indicate why Tracy rice is really notable, I advise you to edit the article promptly, and also put a note on Talk:Tracy rice. Any admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles. You might also want to read our general biography criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that admins should wait a while for you to assert his/her/their notability, please affix the template  to the page, and then immediately add such an assertion. It is also a very good idea to add citations from reliable sources to ensure that your article will be verifiable. Wikipedia is not a memorial. -- Fan-1967 19:26, 31 August 2006 (UTC)


 * If Tracy Rice is a published author, the specific publications need to be documented and verifiable. A web search does not seem to find anything relevant. Fan-1967 19:30, 31 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Fan-1967 - She is cited in the Big Book, in her section. I would not call Tracy a professional author, thus it is not shocking that a web-search found no other books. I will find some source that is able to confirm the page. I think the page would also be beneficial to many of the AA community looking for any questions they may have had about the author. I am also in the process of finding more information on Tracy to add in the future.

Thank You!
 * What section would that be? Since none of the authors of personal stories are identified, how would you verify that, in fact, she wrote one? Verification from Reliable Sources is an absolute requirement for all Wikipedia articles. Fan-1967 19:45, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Maybe it might be a good idea for you to sober up and get to a meeting? Fan-1967 20:17, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
