Speedy deletion nomination of Shaun coffey


A tag has been placed on Shaun coffey requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to No original research, Neutral point of view, and Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later.

Your page "Shaun Coffey"
Hi. I have moved the page "Shaun Coffey" you created to your user page, as it seems to be about yourself. Writing an article about yourself is strongly discouraged in Wikipedia, for reasons explained here. If you intended it to be an article in the main encyclopedia, you may re-create it, but first please read the guidelines Notability and Notability (people) to understand why it might be deleted.

Editing with a Conflict of Interest
Dear Mr Coffey,

Being open to editing by anyone, Wikipedia is extremely sensitive to the possibility of being used for promotional purposes, or in any way that will compromise the neutral point of view which is one of our primary principles. You have been open about your identity, and the edit you made to your company's article seems quite unproblematic, but before you edit further on anything to do with your company you should read these two guidelines and one essay by an experienced editor: Regards, JohnCD (talk) 20:54, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
