Speedy deletion nomination of Lance Gooden


A tag has been placed on Lance Gooden, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. → Σ  τ  c. 03:09, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Status and Advice
As reviewing administrator, since Gooden is unquestionably notable as a member of a state legislature, rather than  deleting it,  I rewrote the article to remove the promotionalism,. Please be careful not to restore it. Adjectives of praise are promotional and inappropriate here, as are descriptions of the importance of the committees he is assigned to. Wikipedia is not a place for campaign advertisements. If anyone wants to find them, Wikipedia provides a link to his web site, which is quite sufficient.  DGG ( talk ) 04:35, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi! I noticed this edit - I removed his name since it had no source. What is the source? WhisperToMe (talk) 07:38, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
