Speedy deletion nomination of Richard Trifan
A tag has been placed on Richard Trifan 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. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 16:17, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

To: Vianello regarding page Richard Trifan
Dear Vianello, May I receive a copy of my deleted page, Richard Trifan? You deleted it today due to A7, and I would like to use the article Wizard to better prove the case for significant, important contributions of this person. My e-mail is richardtrifan@hotmail.com and you could also put a copy of the deleted page in my workspace. Thank you very much! Richard Trifan
 * Absolutely. It'll be at User:Richardtrifan/Draft in just a few moments. - Vianello (Talk) 22:09, 11 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Richard, many problems
 * The court case may be notable, that doesn't make you notable, especially as a musician. Roe v Wade was notable, but Roe wasn't even known at the time
 * It is now wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have references to independent verifiable sources Virtually nothing about you has such verification other than the VP bit
 * Lack of proper references for what is being claimed means that we cannot establish that you meet the notability guidelines. if you have done all that you claim, verify it with independent sources. Even so it's a bit marginal. You've written an opera, but no list of where and when it has been performed. If you are so notable as a musician, why aren't you doing it full time.
 * Acknowledgement to Parents and Family non-encyclopaedic and creepy. If you want this to be a personal page, put it on your website or blog. This is an encyclopaedia that anyone can edit. This section is a perfect example of why autobiographies are discouraged
 * Autobiographies also tend to contain spam and puffery like Later works would re-emphasize the beauty of the melody and diatonic harmonic structure while remaining unique and un-eclectic, a challenging growth step in a composer's life work.

Hi Richard, you can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~. Jordan Rudess is OK in terms of presentation. It could do with more referencing, one of the refs doesn't work, and some refs are formatted poorly, but it establishes notability and doesn't contain much is the way of great talent etc type spam. If you want to see a really good musician article, try Elvis Presley, John Lennon or Frank Zappa. I'm not suggesting you try to emulate these featured articles, but they just show what can be done. If you like, you can write a draft here, let me know when you are done, and I'll have a look. I should say again, though, that autobiography is not a good idea. It's hard to be objective, and whilst you may know your history and motivations, they still need references to proper sources so others can check.

Talk Talk (Music Machine song)
I took your addition out of Talk Talk (song), because that article's specifically about the song by Talk Talk (band). But if you have a few more good references on the earlier song, that'd make a good separate article - David Gerard (talk) 20:16, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
