Speedy deletion of Howie Silbiger
A tag has been placed on Howie Silbiger 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 notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance 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. Stijndon (talk) 21:50, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

''' I was reading up on Radio Shalom Montreal because I listen to The Howie Silbiger Show every single day. He is on the CJRS(Radio Shalom) Wikipedia page as well as on http://truetalkradio.com/web/index.php and http://www.radio-shalom.ca. Can you explain me what is wrong with writing about him? He is heard all over the North American Jewish community, Radio Shalom - CJRS is the only all Jewish radio station in North America.

Please explain me why this is going to be deleted?

I found info about him on http://truetalkradio.com/web/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=67&Itemid=1 '''

Regaring the removal of Howie Silbiger
Before going into the details, let me first give an example why the radio may be notable, yet Howie aybe not be. Imagine Microsoft. The company itself is highly notable, yes Mr/Mrs x, the person who sits behind a desk handling customer relations is not. This is because they are both completely different subject. While being related to [[]Microsoft], this relation doesn't make her special enough to have an own article.

Back to the radio and Howie, this might be a different story. The guidelines that apply here are WP:Notable and WP:People. Have a look at these two guidelines. If Howie received coverage in reliable third party sources independent of himself, and those sources can be added to the article, he is presumed to be notable. If he doesn't, then he is deemed to be not notable. Remember that reliable third party sources fall under WP:RS. In short: An article in a local magazine is not deemed a notable third party source, yet quality papers such as the New York Times are. Excirial ( Talk, Contribs ) 22:26, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
