Speedy deletion nomination of Todd Mankin


A tag has been placed on Todd Mankin 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.

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 hang-on 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. GILO ACCIDENT & EMERGENCY  18:52, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

 * If you have permission from the author, leave a message explaining the details at Talk:Todd Mankin and send an email with the message to . See Requesting copyright permission for instructions.

 * Please note that even if the copyright issue were resolved, the promotional tone of a Myspace page is likely to be completely unsuitable for an encyclopedia article, which requires a neutral point of view. Article subjects need to have notability, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." There is more detail at WP:Notability (people) and for musical performers WP:MUSICBIO, good advice on how to write an acceptable article at WP:Your first article.


 * If you are Todd Mankin, please read WP:Autobiography for the reasons why you are strongly discouraged from writing about yourself in Wikipedia. JohnCD (talk) 21:30, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
