Notability of Daniel Henderson

[edit]

A tag has been placed on Daniel Henderson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), 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 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. Accounting4Taste:talk 15:51, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article Daniel Henderson has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable person. Author of some non-notable books. Claims position with a megachurch but he is not listed at that church's website. Currently apparently an independent consultant. Article unreferenced since 2008.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Thanks for your note on the article's talk page. Before you ask Dr. Henderson's organization about the article, you should read Wikipedia's policy on "conflict of interest". It suggests that neither you nor the organization should be the ones to be working on the article. However, if you want to update it and correct the info about the megachurch, go ahead; I had a feeling he wasn't there anymore.
I notice that the article has been deleted twice before, so it doesn't look good. But the normal procedure is that the proposal for deletion will stand for a week or so, after which an administrator will make the decision what to do about the article. I am not an administrator, just another Wikipedia editor. I came across this article because I was working on the backlog of "unreferenced biographies of living persons". --MelanieN (talk) 01:13, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I notice that someone has removed your "hangon" tag. Don't be alarmed; the tag wasn't necessary. The hangon tag is an objection to SPEEDY deletions, which can be deleted immediately so "hangon" is a way of delaying the process. This is a PROPOSED deletion, which means nothing will be done for a week in any case. (I know, these jargon things can be confusing.) In any case it should be a week before anything is done with the article. --MelanieN (talk) 14:59, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I have deleted the article, because seven days have elapsed and no-one has challenged deletion by removing the PROD template - as the notice above told you, you could have done that if you wished. As this method is used only for uncontroversial deletions, the article will automatically be restored on request - the place to make such a request is WP:REFUND - though it may then be nominated for deletion by another process, WP:Articles for deletion, which involves an open discussion as to whether it meets Wikipedia's requirements.
