Speedy deletion nomination of Roberto Baserga

A tag has been placed on Roberto Baserga, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia for multiple reasons. Please see the page to see the reasons. If the page has since been deleted, you can ask me the reasons by leaving a message on my user talk page.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. — This, that, and the other (talk) 08:04, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's not enough just to say that someone is "an artist, critic and director of the contemporary works of art". You need to explain in your first edit why he is important enough to have an article in an encyclopedia; and if the article is to be kept, you will have to show notability, a requirement to have a Wikipedia article, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people unconnected with the subject, thought him important enough to write substantial comment bout him? More detail at WP:Notability (people), especially the section WP:CREATIVE, and good general advice at WP:Your first article. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 16:18, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
