[edit] Speedy deletion of Malcolm Ludvigsen

A tag has been placed on Malcolm Ludvigsen 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 indicate 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 page (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 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.

[edit] Autobiography

Before contributing further to the Malcolm Ludvigsen article, you might find it helpful to review Wikipedia:Autobiography. I disagree with the previous editor who tagged the article for speedy deletion, because it appears the subject is a published author and painter of at least some note, but I think the addition of reliable third-party sources is essential if the article is to remain. --Russ (talk) 20:56, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

I declined the speedy, since it does claim notability. Try to establish it as a mathematician, that might be easier-- are there reviews available for exhibitions--add them. Quickly, for it will probably be very soon nominated for our regular deletion process. DGG (talk) 00:29, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
