Speedy deletion nomination of Dave Lang


A tag has been placed on Dave Lang 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 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. Wildthing61476 (talk) 20:08, 29 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Re your message: In order to establish his notability, you would need to provide citations from reliable sources showing that he has been subject of multiple published articles. Being a local meme does not establish his notability.  Please also see Wikipedia's policy on biography's of living people and also note that Wikipedia is not Facebook. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 20:34, 29 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Re your message: Providing multiple citations from reliable sources would go a long way towards the article being published on Wikipedia. However, in initial form of the article that you posted, it unlikely that it would remain on Wikipedia. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 23:23, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
