Speedy deletion nomination of Jesse Goldwater
A tag has been placed on Jesse Goldwater 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 hangon 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.  ttonyb (talk) 18:15, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

A few notes on notability
The threshold for whether a subject should have a Wikipedia article is Notability. In the case of Jesse Goldwater, he does not appear to be notable.

First, notability is not inherited. Being the son (or spouse, parent, etc.) of a notable person does not make one automatically notable. An individual must earn his or her own significance.

Second, minor roles on television shows do not make one a notable actor. It would take multiple significant roles, or a role that generates a large fan following, to achieve that standing.

Finally, all claims in articles, and especially claims about notability, must be backed up by reliable sources. There are currently no sources cited in the article.

Based on those reasons, I hope you see that Goldwater does not meet the Wikipedia standards for notability and should not have an article. Of course, that could change in the future, but we have to wait for him to achieve notability, not base it on expectations of achieving it.

Feel free to ask if you have any questions, and happy editing! —C.Fred (talk) 18:36, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
