Notability of Richard V. Reily
A tag has been placed on Richard V. Reily, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about an author, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies. In this case, the subject appears to be the author of a self-published book. This does not, unfortunately, meet current criteria for notability.

Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.  P L E A T H E R talk 16:22, 15 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Please do not delete the tag placed on this article. As the notice itself states, "Do not remove this notice from pages that you have created yourself." If you wish to dispute this, please follow the procedure as detailed. Please note that my earlier assessment as to notoriety still stands: the author of a self-published book does not meet standards of WP:BIO. Also, the links added go only to the author's own site and blog. No instances of his work being reviewed in independent media. Thank you. -- P L E A T H E R talk 17:01, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
