Speedy deletion nomination of Richard K. Twining


A tag has been placed on Richard K. Twining 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 your 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. —  Jeff G. ツ (talk)   02:26, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Mr. Twining
Mr. Twining appears to have been a dedicated and well-known entrepreneur, and it's understandable why you think he ought to be included in Wikipedia. However, it's generally necessary for articles to be verifiable. That means that reliable sources have to indicate that the article's subject is notable. Notability basically means that the subject has received significant third-party coverage. Mr. Twining would have to have been noticed for his actions - whether by reliable news outlets, several authors of published material, or in some other way in accordance with this basic policy.

Thank you for your contributions, and don't be disenheartened. Please stay with Wikipedia, and help contribute, one article at a time, to a compendium of free, public knowledge. dci &#124;  TALK   02:38, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
