Travis Bartels
Welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad you want to get involved, but I'm afraid there's a problem with the article you created, Travis Bartels. It's about a person, but the person doesn't appear to meet Wikipedia's notability criteria. It's a common mistake for new users to make, but Wikipedia isn't a directory, but an encyclopedia- we don't need an article about every person in the world, but only those who have been written about in newspapers, magazines, and books, and we all avoid writing about ourselves. Biographicon is a directory of biographies of people, without a notability requirement, and might be a better place for you to put your profile. I hope that's helpful- feel free to ask me if you have any questions.

Speedy deletion nomination of Travis Bartels


A tag has been placed on Travis Bartels 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.

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. Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 23:46, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
