Speedy deletion nomination of Chad L. Smathers


A tag has been placed on Chad L. Smathers 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.), web content or organised event, 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, you can place a request here. Wgolf (talk) 05:33, 2 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Regarding Speedy Deletion


 * Hello, Preachinghawk70. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia.
 * I'm sorry, but this has been deleted as meeting one or more of the Categories for Speedy Deletion. 
 * Generally, articles are speedily deleted when there is no assertion of significance or they fall into things to avoid or what Wikipedia is not.


 * Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources providing verifiable information. That generally means someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. 
 * Sometimes articles are deleted because they contain content copyrighted elsewhere . Such content can be used as a source of information, but the content here must be completely rewritten from scratch.
 * Some articles contain material written in a promotional tone. These must often be written from scratch. They are vigorously deleted.
 * Any content that is negative in tone and unsourced or which is disparaging will also be vigorously deleted.
 * Any deficiencies with notability, sourcing, or things to avoid should be remedied before reposting as they can lead to repeated deletions.

If you have verifiable information from reliable sources that show subject does meet notability requirements Let me know. CONTENT IN ARTICLES NEEDS TO BE RELIABLY SOURCED. Dloh cierekim  06:13, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
