Speedy deletion nomination of Lawrence Petro


A tag has been placed on Lawrence Petro 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 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 "Click here to 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, you can place a request here.  GILO  A& E&uArr;  06:55, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Your name says it...
"The only way to know how popular and well know this guy is you need to either live in Las Vegas, or work for an offshore sports book" - sorry, that doesn't work here. Things must be verifiable WP:V in reliable independent sources WP:RS. You probably know what you are talking about. But you can't use yourself as a reference WP:OR. It's a bit like claiming there's a rule that says a pair of twos beats four kings - but not being able to produce the evidence. Peridon (talk) 10:10, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
