Speedy deletion nomination of Daniel Rathbone
do you know why this was marked for speedy deletion?
 * See the message at the top of the page; "This article may meet Wikipedia’s criteria for speedy deletion as an article about a real person that does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject."


 * Basically, it doesn't show why he is notable, or famous enough, to have his own Wikipedia entry. Has he received lots of coverage from independent sources like the news, magazines, books, etc.? If not, he is likely not notable enough.  — fetch ·  comms   03:47, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Daniel Rathbone 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.

 * Hi Daniel (I assume that's you). I'm responding to your tag. I nominated the article because the article doesn't seem to indicate why the individual is sufficiently notable to meet the wikipedia criteria. Having a patent, which is the claim in the article, isn't sufficient to indicate notability. If you have some additional information that would be acceptable, or perhaps you could provide some links to other sources to indicate notability. If you have an additional questions I'll try to answer them here. I placed a "hangon" tag on the article for you, so you can add information to the talk page if you disagree, or if it's integrated into the article you can add more info to the article itself in the form of references, etc. Shadowjams (talk) 03:49, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
