Adam Weinacker
A tag has been placed on Adam Weinacker, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, 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 Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the 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. GhostPirate 17:49, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Death of Edgar Allan Poe
''The theory of Poe's alcoholism, both as cause of death and throughout his life, is being disputed and is beginning to be dismissed. Poe had a severe weakness to alcohol and became drunk even after one glass of wine. Poe has gone several months at a time without alcohol and seemed to have no attachment to it. According to this theory, the only reason Poe drank was because of unfortunate events in his life, which there seemed to be no end.''

You added the above addition to the article Death of Edgar Allan Poe. I removed it because it desperately needs citations for it to be useful on Wikipedia. I'm certainly not saying it's not true, but "this theory" could be made by a second grader, for all we know. If a credible source is found, it can be re-added. Good luck in your Wikipedia editing!

 * I'm editing a revision you recently added. Try to get a better understanding of how to cite sources. You can probably look through the article itself in "edit" mode for a better idea. Be certain, by the way, that what you add is notable. Just because a study came out about Poe does not mean it needs to be mentioned in the Wikipedia article. :) Midnightdreary 16:35, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
