Speedy deletion nomination of Anastasia Filippova


A tag has been placed on Anastasia Filippova requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that your page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:22, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Contested deletion
I am copying your contested deletion comment, and my reply, so that if the page is deleted, you will have access to my reply:
 * This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... (it is encompasses information about an artist who is making significant influences and is viewed as an inspiration to many. It is not meant for advertising purposes, however more of a platform for others to be exposed to her accomplishments. Moreover the page remains under construction and not all the information and sources have been inserted yet. The contribution of this article is  part of a university project that must be completed.) --Ottawatal (talk) 17:07, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Since the article, as it presently stands, does not give any indications that Ms Filippova is notable, nor does my preliminary search for reliable sources, it seems that this may not be the best topic for a Wikipedia article. I suggest to the author that the article should be developed in the user space (at User:Ottawatal/Anastasia Filippova, for example), and submitted to the professor as a user space draft rather than in the main article space.  Whether for a school project or not, all material on Wikipedia must conform to Wikipedia guidelines.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 17:18, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

I note that you have expanded the article since I tagged it for speedy deletion. You have written an article about a music teacher who has recorded an album, won the SuperEx "Stars on the Rise" competition (a local youth talent show at the Ottawa fair) and has auditioned for (but apparently not been accepted for) Canadian Idol. All in all, none of this rises to the level of notability required for inclusion at Wikipedia. Also, you have provided no sources, which renders the article eligible for deletion as an unsourced biography. I would urge you to take my advice above and move the article to your userspace and work on it there. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 17:33, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

My partner and I appreciate your advice and will act upon it, Thank you for your input. User:Ottawatal
