Speedy deletion nomination of Shannon Parris


A tag has been placed on Shannon Parris 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 band or musician, 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 the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. ⁓ Hello  71  01:23, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Removing Speedy at Shannon Parris
Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for taking the time to create a page here. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you created yourself. Because Wikipedia policy does not allow the creator of the page to remove deletion tags, an automated program has replaced the deletion tag you removed from Shannon Parris. Please do not continue to remove the deletion tag, instead, if you disagree with the deletion, you can follow these steps: Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do. For further help about the deletion, you could contact the user who first placed the tag or a highly active user who is willing to help with deletion. This message was left by a bot, so please do not contact the bot about the deletion. Thank you, - SDPatrolBot (talk) 01:27, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Shannon Parris
Hi,

Thanks for creating the article "Shannon Parris." Regrettably it did not make a sufficient claim for notability, and has been removed. However, I've created a copy of it for you at User:Shannon105tt/article, so you can keep working on the page if you wish and return it to the main encyclopedia once it meets the notability requirements - essentially, once Shannon Parris has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable secondary sources.

In passing it is better not to write articles about yourself, as other editors might think you have a conflict of interest. But that's up to you.

In deleting the article I noted your objection that you had done nothing "illegal" and the article was truthful. The first of these is quite right - there is nothing wrong in creating an article. The second is the problem - Wikipedia works on what is verifiable and notable, not what is intrinsically true. I'm sure the article was entirely truthful, its problem was it wasn't (yet) notable enough to appear in an encyclopedia.

Happy to discuss any ofthis further - just explaining the reasoning for the deletion. Euryalus (talk) 03:39, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
