Speedy deletion nomination of Tommy Maverick
A tag has been placed on Tommy Maverick 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 band or musician, 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 musical topics. 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.

WP:NOT
Please note that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia -- its purpose is not to be used for self-promotion. (See WP:PROMOTION) We also strongly discourage anyone from writing about themselves or their companies due to the inherent conflict-of-interest. While I appreciate your desire to have a biography on Wikipedia, your ability to pass the notability guidelines will have occurred when you receive significant coverage in multiple independent and reliable sources. As such, I have deleted the Tommy Maverick page per WP:A7. In other words, please wait until other people -- independent of you, your family or friends -- decide to write a biography. Until then, good luck. — Cactus Writer (talk) 21:50, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
