User talk:Schickm

Hi. You created the article Barry Rodgers and contested its speedy deletion. Unfortunately, as it is written now it falls into several CSD criteria, so I have deleted it. As you said you were currently working on the article, I invite you to recreate it when you can both assert the person's notability as per our notability policy and provide information from reliable sources. You may also be interested in the guidelines to writing your first article. In your post on the talk page, you said that the subject was soon going to be principal of the top-rated highschool in Illinois, and thus was notable. Please note that Wikipedia's definition of notable is a little bit different, requiring multiple, non-trivial works published about the subject, whose source is independent of the subject. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me on my talk page. Natalie 23:09, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
