Proposed deletion of Jockey Tony Vega

The article Jockey Tony Vega has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

February 2016

Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Jockey Tony Vega. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

This article is not about me, it is about my father who is deceased. He was an athlete and legend who i would like to have recognized and have his bio/profile on wikipedia so when people search his name, they have a reliable source of information that they can trust. Instead of always deleting people stuff, maybe one of you jerks can actually give some advice and help fix the damnn page already. no reason it should take me 6+ years to start a page on here. freaking ridiculous. smh

Your submission at Articles for creation: Johnny Vega (October 5)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SwisterTwister was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Notability cannot be inherited with this Draft being no different, and the current information and sources isn't significant enough to accept; currently, there's nothing suggesting the valid notability criteria is satisfied.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Johnny Vega and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

Whomever is nominating the Tony Vega page for speedy deletion must either have a personal vendetta against Mr. Vega, and is probably working for the mobsters who ran Vega out of horse racing for refusing to purposely blow races for payoffs. Let them man rest in peace, and stop trying to tarnish his legacy and his outstanding accomplishments in the sport of kings. Im really starting to dislike the way some of these editors just bounce credible articles off of wikipedia because they have doubts or whatever the case may be. If a person is a notable professional athlete who was at one point ranked number #1 in the United States, and up for the most prestigious award (Eclipse Award) in Horse racing, not to mention being all of the awards, books that mentioned him, Countless newspapers & magazine articles, interviews and features on ESPN, ABC, NBC, 60 minutes, FOX Sports television etc doesn't make him notable enough, I don't know what will. Who is Ruf10 by the way?? seems like your really trying to get Tony vega's page deleted all of a sudden for some other reason. if you read the last thread, you'd see that Tony vega fit the criteria and is in fact a notable athlete who fits wikipedia criteria. Whats your real reason for nominating Tony Vega for speedy deletion all of a sudden, and who are you??

May 2018

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Tony Vega (jockey).

You cannot under any circumstances remove the afd notice. An uninvolved admin will do so at the proper time. Rusf10 (talk) 23:26, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Tony Vega (jockey), you may have a conflict of interest (COI).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Rusf10 (talk) 23:38, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- Also, if i wanted promotion, i could easily spend money advertising on social networks, website advertisements etc. That is not why i started this article/bio. This is for the thousands of people who constantly search, ask, and wonder why wikipedia didn't have an article on one of the most respected, and well known jockey's in the U.S. for the last thirty years. Tony Vega is a legend at racetracks around the world, and was a superstar jockey in his prime.

Issuing level 2 warning about removing AfD template from articles before the discussion is complete. (Peachy 2.0 (alpha 8))

Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages, as you did with Johnny Vega. Doing so won't stop the discussion from taking place. You are, however, welcome to comment about the proposed deletion on the appropriate page. This is an automated message from a bot about this edit, where you removed the deletion template from an article before the deletion discussion was complete. If this message is in error, please report it.—^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 03:57, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there

Do not get frustrated. You can write a blog entry, or set up a web page, or record a Youtube video with your information on your father, and that can be used as a reference in Wikipedia. Wikipedia should always reference an outside source and that can be you reminiscing about your father and reporting what you learned in your research. You can also migrate your draft of the biography to Familypedia in a single cut and paste. I also added him to Familysearch. --RAN (talk) 04:31, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Image improvement suggestion

The image of the article's subject in "Tony Vega (jockey)" needs dating. Could you provide more background info? By the way, image legends in BLPs are typically simple: "name", "place", and "date". All detailed information is provided in the main text; too long a legend is unnecessary overkill. Take care. -The Gnome (talk) 12:38, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
