Speedy deletion nomination of Nigel Parodi


A tag has been placed on Nigel Parodi 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. TheLongTone (talk) 17:50, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

Nigel Parodi
Welcome to Wikipedia. This is a note to explain why I deleted your articles about Nigel Parodi. There are two relevant policies. First, WP:ONEEVENT - this is a person notable only for one event, shooting at policemen and then killing himself. That policy suggests that such an article should be about the event rather than the person; but even if this were called something like "Hanbury Street shooting" it would still not qualify for an article, the reason being explained at WP:NOTNEWS: "Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion." This was a regrettable and tragic event, but unfortunately such things are all too common, and although this was well covered in the press, there is nothing about it to suggest that it is of enough enduring significance to warrant an article in an encyclopedia.

I am sorry to have to delete your article because, for a new editor, it was extremely well arranged, organised and referenced. It is just unfortunate that the subject was unsuitable. Please don't be discouraged from continuing to contribute.

Two more tips
If you create an article at the wrong title, you don't need to create it all over again at the right one. You can use the "Move" tab at the top of the screen to move it to a new title. If you don't see the "Move" tab, it is probably in a drop-down menu just left of the search box. There is one catch about the "Move" dialogue, which often confuses people: if you are making an article, you need to select "(Article)" in the drop-down menu for the left-hand box, not "Wikipedia".

I suggest you remove the version of the Parodi article which is on your user page. Your user page is intended for you to say something about yourself and your Wikipedia activities, if you wish, to help communication within the project. See WP:User pages for guidance on what is and is not appropriate there. For making draft articles, it's better to use subpages in your user space. You already have User:Wworthy2014/sandbox which you can re-use, or you can make another subpage by clicking on "Help:Userspace draft" and filling in the title, or by typing "User:Wworthy2014/ " in the search box.

Hello Wworthy2014. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "sandbox".

The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply and remove the  or  code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, copy this code:, paste it in the edit box at this link , click "Save page", and an administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. JMHamo (talk) 21:00, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
