[edit] Notability of Paul Ekins

A tag has been placed on Paul Ekins, 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 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 feel that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "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 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. --Finngall talk 19:39, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

While the article was definitely eligible for speedy deletion at the time, you most certainly established notability soon after and I would have gladly removed the tag if someone hadn't beaten me to it. Helpful hint: you are free to create subpages of your user page to use as a sandbox or workspace--you can then simply copy stuff over to the main article all at once instead of creating it piecemeal there. Thanks, and take care. --Finngall talk 15:57, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
