Proposed deletion of Martine Roch


The article Martine Roch has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners or ask at 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 ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Eeekster (talk) 22:47, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Martine Roch


A tag has been placed on Martine Roch 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Eeekster (talk) 22:47, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Advice
To answer the question you asked on the article talk page: read WP:Your first article for general advice. In particular, an article is likely to be speedily deleted unless it gives some indication of why its subject is important or significant enough to have an article in an encyclopedia. A single sentence saying that someone "is a french Illustrator using animals in her pictures" doesn't do that. To be kept in the longer term, an article needs to do more than that: it needs to establish WP:Notability, a requirement to have a Wikipedia article, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." The test for inclusion in Wikipedia is, have people independent of the subject found it important enough to write substantial comment about? There is more detail at WP:Notability (people), and you should read WP:Biographies of living persons too.

If you want to take time to develop an article, you can make a draft in your user space. See Help:Userspace draft for how to do that. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 14:29, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
