Welcome!
Hello, Philsteelartist, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Salty Dog Gallery, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

Speedy deletion nomination of Salty Dog Gallery


A tag has been placed on Salty Dog Gallery 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this 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, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. — Ascii002 (talk • ctb • guestbook) 15:56, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

August 2014
Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Salty Dog Gallery. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you. — Ascii002 (talk • ctb • guestbook) 16:31, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

Notability
Please read WP:ARTIST about notability for artists, and WP:RS about reliable independent sources. I'm afraid that in a Google search I didn't find any, and that the ones you give are just memberships which don't appear to confer any notability - the Marquis Who's Who is supplied by its subjects which makes it definitely not independent. Wikipedia is not like Facebook, where anyone can have a page. To be on here, there has to be notability (by our standards) and RS referencing. Not being on here doesn't mean someone is not a good artist. It just means there hasn't been enough verifiable coverage. Peridon (talk) 16:50, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Marine Artist Philip S. Steel


The article Marine Artist Philip S. Steel has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Gbawden (talk) 07:27, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
