User talk:OF THE WAVE

Aimee Ahern
Howdy, following up on your comments on my talk page, I figured I'd come here to explain. The deleted content was:
 * AIMEE AHERN: Aimee Grace Ahern born 24 July, 1970)


 * Ahern has been linked to the upcoming 2007 General Election in the Constituency of Dublin North


 * ==Early and private life==
 * Ahern was educated at

Per the Criteria for Speedy Deletion, the article did not provide any substantial claim of notability, and was essentially empty. Every citizen living in Dublin North could have an article stating the same, since voting itself "links" a person to a General Election. If you can provide a fuller article with an explanation (even very brief) for how exactly Ahern is "linked" with the Election (preferably citing sources) there's no reason it would be deleted in the future.

The best bet for getting a recreated article to stay would be to be clear on exactly what the person has done. Is she standing for election? acting as a campaign manager for someone else? organising a protest? Told a local newspaper she isn't going to bother voting? The previously submitted article could have referred to any of these or more. If the article establishes notability (and isn't completely incoherent or blatantly attacking the subject) it should survive speedy deletion. Avoiding deletion from the slower route generally entails giving more detail, citing your sources, etc. GeeJo (t)⁄(c) &bull; 18:19, 3 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Aimee Ahern is looking much better now. Well done! GeeJo (t)⁄(c) &bull; 02:08, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
