Footnotes

As you are well aware by now the common use of references for certain claims in articles is by enclosing them with <ref>-elements to make footnotes. Please do take the time and make use of them, because it makes it much simpler to find out what part of a lengthy article that uses that particular source as claim for verifiability (and vice versa), as opposed to just adding a link to the end of the article.

Speedy deletion of Tanya Gingerich

A tag has been placed on Tanya Gingerich 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 notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Melissa Hanson

A tag has been placed on Melissa Hanson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 14:37, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

a bad faith nomination--Zingostar 15:04, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

I agree that this article was a speedy deletion candidate; it didn't make it clear that the person is notable, and the only source was imdb, which, as a site (like Wikipedia) composed of user-generated content, is specifically not considered a reliable source. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 15:09, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
