The article John phillips has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for 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. Same for Comfortably Nowhere. NawlinWiki 16:25, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

I have edited the page, hopefully it will no meet the requirements of wikipedia, because this is a real book. I will be putting the page on John Phillips back up, however it will be more complete next time, I'm emailing the author for more personal information.


A tag has been placed on Comfortably nowhere, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems 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 Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the 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. — coelacan — 03:08, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] notability

Hi Cornsloth. The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is not simply that a product exists, but that it is notable. The standard usually used for books can be found at Wikipedia:Notability (books). When I deleted comfortably nowhere, I did so because the page made no assertion of notability, and so it met our speedy deletion criteria. — coelacan — 17:36, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi again Cornsloth. One of the reasons we require a measure of notability is that everything in Wikipedia has to be verifiable. If we don't have multiple non-trivial published works that are reliable and independent of the subject, i.e. other reliable publications writing about the person/organization/product/whatever, then we can't be sure that we're writing anything verifiable. So without some notability, there's just no way to approach accuracy. It's not intended to be a judgment on what "deserves" to have a Wikipedia article or not. Just wanted to make that clear.
