Speedy deletion nomination of Ahmad Hemmati


A tag has been placed on Ahmad Hemmati 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 person or group of people, 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 this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Darkness Shines (talk) 12:53, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Your biographical articles
You wrote on a talk page: "I wish I knew how to write a good article in a proper format to show his mastery of English poetry in a society the people of which can hardly write or speak English fluently." There is good advice at WP:Your first article and WP:Writing better articles. For how to use Wiki markup, see WP:CHEAT and for more detail Help:Wiki markup. You may also find the WP:Tutorial helpful.

The main problem I think you will have is establishing WP:Notability, which is the Wikipedia word for the criterion used to decide what is a suitable subject for an encyclopedia article. Notability is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The question is, have people independent of the subject found it important and significant enough to write substantial comment about? There is more detail at WP:Notability (people).

That ties in with the WP:Verifiability policy: "any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source". Wikipedia is not a place for your own opinions, or for "original research".

By the way, when you post a biographical article you only need to post one version: the name should be presented in the order Given name, Surname.
