Speedy deletion nomination of Andrew Hsu[edit]

A tag has been placed on Andrew Hsu requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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 indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

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 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 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. Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 21:04, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your hangon rationale[edit]

You wrote, He is an inspiration and definitely deserves a Wikipedia page. The problem is that being an inspiration is not a criterion. The main criterion is notability, that is, are there reliable sources out there, unrelated to the subject, that took notice before you decided to write a Wikipedia article? If not, then we cannot have an article on him regardless of how deserving of it you may think he is. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 21:16, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

= Reliable Sources[edit]

Okay, the guy has been on the news a couple of times, and the article didn't reflect that, so you could use that. But please do not use Youtube directly as a reference: the clips are from major networks so their presence on YouTube is likely a copyright infringement, and so they will be gone one day or another. (Using them in a Wikipedia article might actually speed up the process.)

In recreating the article from the news sources, please keep in mind that you must talk about him neutrally, and you must refrain from praising the guy. Calling him an "inspiration to all" might get the article deleted again (see WP:PEACOCK). -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 22:26, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Ctrl-alt-rock[edit]

A tag has been placed on Ctrl-alt-rock 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.
