Phillip Kwik
Hi. Thanks for creating an article on Phillip Kwik. Unfortunately, the article did not assert why its subject was notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia.

On the article talk page you referred to Kwik's role in Labor Notes and the Detroit CISPES, but being part of notable organisations is not sufficient - notability is not conferred or inherited, and the subject of the article must be notable themselves, not just by association.

You also mentioned Kwik's term on the City Council, at a time when the Council made major decisions. This might be sufficient if you coudl demonstrate that the decisions were made as a result of Kwik being on the Council, not simply occurred while he was there.

I mention all this to explain why the article was deleted, and suggest what material is needed before a new version can be created. If you like I can also create a version of the article in your userspace, so you can work on adding references or otherwise improving it before creating a new "live" version. Let me know if you would like this done, or if I can be of assistance in any other way. Euryalus (talk) 05:55, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Phillip Kwik was on Hamtramck City Council from 1997 to 2001. His tenure led to the state takeover of the City, and the appointment of a trustee over Hamtramck. This was a significant event in the City's history. Wikipedia has an entry for Hamtramck, Michigan.

In addition, Kwik worked for Labor Notes, and was active in the Detroit CISPES. Wikipedia has entrries for both Labor Notes and CISPES.
