Re:Byron Smith
That's fine. The criteria I used was A7, or non-notable person. Before you added the external links it appeared as if he was just a guy who made a claim. But it seems he is fairly notable, according to your sources. In the future, you could begin articles on your userspace (e.g. User:Mwamsley/Byron Smith), and work on it until it's ready for article space. Let me know if you have any further questions. --Fang Aili talk 22:33, 23 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi Mwamsley,
 * I agree that Byron Smith wasn't speedy-deletable, although I don't know whether or not the subject needs a Wikipedia article about him. Therefore I undeleted the article and placed it on the "Articles for Deletion" page, where it will be discussed and voted on. To vote on and discuss the article, please go to Articles for deletion/Byron Smith (to get an idea of what is usually said at these discussions, see today's list of pages up for deletion). In the meanwhile, please feel free to continue editing and improving the article you wrote (without removing the AFD notice). &mdash; Asbestos | Talk   (RFC)  15:29, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Byron Smith, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. RJASE1 Talk  19:27, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
