Discussion
Since there is a likelihood that this article will be deleted soon, I am copying the discussion from the article's talk page here so that you can refer to it:

I am one of Shawns friends and I wrote this page to let the general public know how young Shawn is and that he still has the mindset to open a business a the age of 19.
 * Hi. While this may be true, articles on Wikipedia need to present some form of notability. This is usually in the form of non-trivial coverage in reliable sources, but more criteria can be viewed here. Please read those guidelines, as they are the community-accepted guidelines. &lowast; \ / {talk} 12:50, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

ok, can you please keep this up? Shawn is in the process of buying domain for a .com website....is that enough for a resource? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scarr16 (talk • contribs) 12:53, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately no. Perhaps consider waiting until the business has grown to a size worthy of note before creating an article. Perhaps, if it is successful enough, an editor unrelated to the business will create it. For the time being, however, this article is likely to be deleted. &lowast; \ / {talk} 12:57, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

how big or successful will it need to be? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scarr16 (talk • contribs) 13:04, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * It's not a question of size or business success; it is a question of notability, which means that the business has to be sufficiently unusual or interesting in some respect to have received significant coverage in independent, third-party sources. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 13:33, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. &lowast; \ / {talk} 12:39, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
