Notability of Douglas Zimmerman
A tag has been placed on Douglas Zimmerman requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, 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. kelapstick (talk) 23:24, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Removal of Speedy Deletion tag
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. --kelapstick (talk) 23:40, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Douglas Zimmerman
Hi, Nukles1...Regarding your recent edits. Entries in Wikipedia follow certain guidelines, the first and foremost is notability, in particular for people. While moving from a career as a film producer may be an interesting change in career, it does not make a person notable. The basic criteria for notability having significant coverage by reliable sources which are independent of the subject. For example if there have been several articles written about Douglas Zimmerman, by reliable sources (i.e. major magazines, newspapers), that can be used to establish notability. Having directed a film which played at a film festival does not, unless it is a major film festival, and won it. (The notability guideline for films establishes notability for films, such as He Oughta Be Committed). And if someone puts a speedy deletion tag on a page you created, do not remove it but put underneath it. It will be reviewed by an administrator who probably knows more about what belongs and what doesn't than the person who put the tag there.

Having said all that, creating an article because you may shoot a film in the future falls into the crystal ball category of what Wikipedia is not. Also by your wording it appears that you are in fact the subject of one of your articles, which would be an autobiography which falls into the conflict of interest category. While the article is indeed neutral and unbiased, and writing an autobiography on Wikipedia is not "against the rules" it is discouraged, especially if there are not reliable sources to be cited, it all becomes original research, which is against the rules.

This may seem like a lot and you look to be pretty new to Wikipedia and I hope that you do stay, as I am sure that there are a lot of subjects that you can help us with, however there is a good chance that your two articles will be deleted, but if information about them can be sourced, they could make some excellent articles I am sure. I hope this helps, I recommend you look through the links I have put in this message to get familiar with the policies and procedures here. Jumping into creating a new article as your first order of business is usually not the best way to start out in Wikipedia, I recommend adding some content and getting citations down first, than it makes starting a new article easier, and less likely to be deleted right off the bat. If I can help you with anything let me know on my talk page, I had a hell of a time with references when I first started, and if you want to create your own user space so that you can work on your article before it goes into the main space (and is looked at and analyzed by everyone) you can create your own subpage here. This will let you get formatting and citation templates right before it "goes live". Hope I have helped!--kelapstick (talk) 00:21, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
