Welcome to Wikipedia. A page you recently created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests, and consider using the Article Wizard. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article. You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. Saturn star (talk) 20:06, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

You asked, why isn't there an article for him? The answer is, because nobody has been interested enough to write one. Wikipedia is an all-volunteer project: an article gets written when somebody is interested enough in the subject to do the work. There are some criteria that article subjects have to meet: they have to be notable, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."

If you are interested, by all means write an article. It would be worth taking the time to read WP:Your first article carefully, first, and the links in the Welcome paragraph above will give you more information. Alternatively, you could make a request at WP:Requested articles, giving enough detail for someone to find out more about him; but there is no guarantee of how soon someone will follow up your request.
