User talk:Scfarrell

I recently deleted you article on Paul Farrell (your father?) and wanted to give you an explanation since you were new to Wikipedia. First of all, the article appeared to only promote your father and his law firm, which would go against criteria G11 of our policy on speedy deletion. Also, as a lawyer and a city councilman in a city of less that 50,000 people, he would appear to fail WP:BIO, our guideline regarding who merits inclusion in Wikipedia and who doesn't. That being said, I would also contend that Mayors Dean and Felinton also would not pass muster here, either.

That being said, if he is indeed your father, he should be quite proud to have a son that would take the time to work on his Wikipedia article.  young  american (ahoy hoy) 17:08, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I almost forgot:

If you want...
I can undelete the article and move it to your sandbox User:Scfarrell/sandbox. That way, you can work on it there and get it just right so that it shows that Mr. Farrell meets our inclusion guidelines. The article can then be moved back to Paul Farrell. Just let me know.  young  american (ahoy hoy) 13:44, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, for what it is worth, I think your father is a good Huntingtonian, a great human being, and one of the few people on council that I actually feel is qualified to have any power whatsoever. The deletion was a matter of WP policy, not anything personal (but you seem to have figured that out and I commend you for your levelheadedness--many people take deletions personally).
