Notability of Derek Ogilvie
A tag has been placed on Derek Ogilvie requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it 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. andy (talk) 13:26, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Derek Ogilvie
I'm sorry to bother you, but I wrote an article on both English and Dutch Wikipedia about Derek Ogilvie who is very well known in Great Britain and Holland. I hadn't even come up with much, since I wrote his manager to get some more info on him. Now both pages are deleted. But I don't understand why. As far as I've understood, to be able to write about a person on Wikipedia he or she has to be known aka famous. He is and there wasn't anything to be found about him here on wikipedia. Maybe I get it all wrong but hope you are willing to explain to me exactly why the pages were deleted? Thanks!16:14, 11 June 2008 (UTC)


 * There was nothing in the article to indicate that this person was in any way notable. Even a simple statement about his importance, or saying what he's well known for, would have done the trick. Please read the guidelines at WP:N. andy (talk) 17:33, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
