Speedy deletion of Gary goltz
A tag has been placed on Gary goltz 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.

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), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. John Collier (talk) 18:54, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Gary Goltz
This seems to assert meeting WP:BIO, so it has not been deleted. However, there are major problems with tone, external links, and sourcing. The tone is far from neutral point of view. All superlatives and fluff and flowery language should be removed from the article. It is fraught with external links. See WP:EL. I've converted some to references and removed others. To many left for me to deal with in the short amount of time available to me today. External links can only be in an article if they support the article, usually as ref's. You will need to remove any inline link that is not used as a reference. Links to the subject's webpage, business page, linkedin, etc are not third party reliable sources. These are necessary to support a claim of meeting WP:BIO. Care also must be made to comply with WP:BLP. Self promotion is right out. Hope this helps. If you need help, place the template on your talk page. Good luck and happy editing. Dloh cierekim  20:32, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Gary Goltz
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Gary Goltz, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process
 * No clear indication of notability that rises to the standards required by Notability or Notability (people). An article focusing on his work in Blind Judo or Judo in general might be doable but not with the existing text. As a businessman, unless he was chief-something-officer of a Fortune 500 or was otherwise very widely noted in mainstream, non-specialized press, it's probably a non-starter. Either delete or start over and focus on one aspect of his life in which his notability won't be questioned. Consider drafting an article in user space. A side-note: If you have a conflict of interest please limit yourself to removing inaccurate information and non-content changes like typo-fixing, and propose your changes on Talk:Gary Goltz and wait for another editor to make the edit. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 22:43, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  22:45, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Note: The proposed deletion process allows 5 days for others, including yourself, to improve the article and remove the PROD tag.  However, if you remove it before you improve the article, the article will almost certainly go to Articles For Deletion.  If it goes to AFD in its current state, it will almost certainly wind up being deleted.  Please improve the article.  davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  22:47, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
