Speedy deletion nomination of Stanley B. Lindner


A tag has been placed on Stanley B. Lindner 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 credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Us and you
To you, your father was notable. Unfortunately, to us he didn't meet the requirements of WP:BIO. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, just like the Britannica is. We do include a lot more than they do, but we can't include everything. I'll paste here the comment made by the editor who tagged your article, "I understand that, however please know that Wikipedia is not to be used as a memorial for family members. This is content that should be placed on a personal web page, or a social media site, not an online encyclopedia.". There are many places where you can post your information. I'm afraid this isn't one, unless you can show a pass at BIO and with reliable independent sources WP:RS to prove the notability. (Our definition of notability is the one that counts here, not the one found in your dictionary. It was defined and argued about by the community here over quite a long time.)
