Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by some search engines, including Google. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Brianga (talk) 16:12, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Johnnie oddball


A tag has been placed on Johnnie oddball 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, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, 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, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Slon02 (talk) 21:47, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Creating an article
Since the Johnnie oddball article has been deleted three times now, it would be best if you create it in your own User space first, at User:Paul Wayman/Johnnie Oddball. However, before you do that, be sure that you read the Wikipedia pages at WP:BIO, WP:RS and WP:BLP. The article must explain what makes the person notable, they must have reliable sources, or they will be deleted. So far, none of the versions of the article has explained what makes him notable. That's of utmost importance. Once you think you've gotten the article in its appropriate state, then you can go to WP:DRV to ask people to review the article in your User space to see if they think it meets Wikipedia's guidelines.
