Speedy deletion nomination of Marc Aryan

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Marc Aryan requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an 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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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. Alexf^(talk) 12:51, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, instead of writing it yourself. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. -- Alexf^(talk) 12:51, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Looking at the article you wrote about yourself — simply having articles on other Wikipedias doesn't guarantee that you get an article on this one. Different Wikipedias have different standards for whether or not a subject qualifies for an article. Moreover, there is a way to move other languages' articles here; see Help:Import. However, I've looked at the French and Turkish articles, and the sources that they use don't appear to me to be what we consider reliable sources. Unless multiple reliable sources exist for you, there's no good reason for there to be an article about you, and since those articles don't use what the English Wikipedia says are reliable sources, it's not proper to have an article using them. I remind you again: do not write an article about yourself, since (like anyone else) you have an obvious conflict of interest in writing about yourself. Nyttend (talk) 21:58, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

I'd missed the fact that Aryan has been dead since 1985; given that you left a comment on my talk page less than 25 years ago, I'll be happy to believe that you're not dead :-) Nevertheless, your username shows that a conflict of interest is likely: please read the "Close relationships" section of the conflict of interest policy page that I linked in my previous comment.

Speedy deletion converted to PROD: Cormac O'Brien

Hello Marcaryan! I am just letting you know that I have converted the speedy deletion tag that you placed on Cormac O'Brien to a proposed deletion tag. The speedy deletion criteria are extremely narrow to protect the encyclopedia, and do not fit the page in question. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Theleftorium ^(talk) 13:14, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

I have now added sources to the article and removed the deletion tag. Theleftorium ^(talk) 13:31, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
