Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

Or, you can just type   on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Speedy deletion nomination of Vann York
A tag has been placed on Vann York 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. 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), 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.

 * I have deleted the page. If you would like a copy restored to your userspace so that you can work on it and try to establish notability, using independent, reliable sources, please place a note requesting restoration on User talk:DESiegel, at the bottom of the page, and I will do so when I have a chance.

 * On the talk page, you wrote "People like this deserve attention." No doubt they do. However, Wikipedia is, in general only for summarizing the attention that people (and things) already have or have had. Specifically, Wikipedia articles should be about notable topics. Normally this means that they have had non-trivial discussion in independent, published, reliable sources. If you can provide citations to newspaper stores, say (and preferably papers that are not purely local in scope; regional if not national) or other published sources that would help a lot. Note that press releases, and awards from a man's employer or business affiliate do not count as independent, and blogs and online fora are generally not considered reliable. Or evidence of achievement beyond simply being a successful businessman. See our biography guideline for more detail. See also our guide to citing sources. DES (talk) 04:02, 7 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Note also that the tone of the article as it existed was quite promotional. it read like a press release, not like an encyclopedia article. This would not alone be a reason to delte it, but it would need to be corrected for the article to remain. If you attempt a rewrite, please remember hat Wikipedia articles must be written from a neutral point of view: they must be factual, and in general not state opinions unless they are attributed to a named individual or entity, and supported with a citation.

 * I'm sorry to have had to delete this article about this no doubt worthy person, but such are our policies, since even on a web-based encyclopedia we cannot include every decent well-meaning individual. DES (talk) 04:02, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
