A tag has been placed on Elaine Equi, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it 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 assert 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 think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add  on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) 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 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. Darkspots 02:47, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I've removed the template. You've now asserted sufficient notability.  As a suggestion, create a personal sandbox and develop articles a bit and then move them into the mainspace--ask me if you have any questions on how to do that. (you can reply here) Good luck with your article. Darkspots 02:59, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. The sandbox sounds like a good idea.
 * OK, I've created the sandbox. User:NoRain/sandbox, and you can edit it just like an article page.  You can also access it by going to your userpage and clicking the sandbox link there.  Please leave the  template on the page even when you're creating articles there, that will stop any confusion about what's a mainspace article and what isn't (you can delete the template before you save the article in the mainspace, of course.  Contact me on my talk page with any questions.
 * Also, please sign your talk page posts with four tildes ( ~ ), which puts your signature and a time/date stamp on. Thanks! Darkspots 03:15, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Sotère Torregian


The article Sotère Torregian has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Not seeing anything which approaches "significant coverage" upon a search for this person

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
