A tag has been placed on Vinyette Teague, 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. &mdash;Resurgent insurgent 2007-04-14 04:47Z 

Unspecified source for Image:Vinyette Teague.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Vinyette Teague.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self-no-disclaimers tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 04:50, 14 April 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. &mdash;Resurgent insurgent 2007-04-14 04:47Z 

Vinyette Teague
First, thank you for putting a header on your comment on my talk page. Without the header, comments tend to slip by without being noticed. After rereading the article, I'm still siding towards enforcing the deletion. Your statement that it "in fact has many secondary sources" - is one I'd disagree with. In the last revision before it's deletion, there were three links. Links one and two were links to the home pages of the respective organisations. External links, but not references or sources. The third link does contain information, however is ridden with popups and security risks and one I would not include. The subject's notability, which was the presented reason for deletion, is where I fail to see any reason for inclusion. Working through your reasoning for inclusion on my talk page: The main problem is that you haven't provided enough "secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent,6 and independent of the subject." For more information, see Notability (people), Verifiability and Reliable sources. This is vitally important because Wikipedia is based on verifiability, not truth. I and anyone else should be able to see for themselves using the provided sources whether they are not reliable and make up their own minds, not rely on someone else who may be related or may be emotionally involved or attatched.

 * 1) "The person Vinyette Teague is actually a missing person who is still missing to this day." Many people go missing every day and we don't have articles on them. We don't generally define someone as notable just because they are missing.
 * 2) "She is listed with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in the States" - doesn't make someone notable.
 * 3) "and has recently been featured in the Newspaper,again in Chicago." While being featured in the newspaper helps, one newspaper does not cut it. I can't tell how notable he or she is from outside the US unless I can see here sources that show so.
 * 4) "she is also the only child missing from the Robert Taylor Homes Housing Project in Chicago.of which wikipedia has an article on" - what makes the project special enough to warrant an article on a child from the place they came from. Notability generally doesn't pass on from place to person.
