Speedy deletion nomination of Rick Lavoie
A tag has been placed on Rick Lavoie 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles – see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Rick Lavoie
Hi, I've removed the tag for this article to be deleted speedily. The article relies on a single source, in this case the website of the subject of the article. While the link to the video in the PBS store does suggest that the subject is notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia, reliable sources will need to be referenced in the article. The link to the PBS store will not be able to remain in the article. The documentary will need to be referenced in another format. Please see WP:CITE, WP:RS and WP:STYLE for more information on how to improve this article. It may be subject to alternative deletion methods by other editors, so I have installed maintenance templates on the top of the article to let them know that the problems have been identified. Best of luck on your future editing. --  O liver  T wisted (Talk) (Stuff) 06:31, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
