Speedy deletion of Jeff Lovingood

A tag has been placed on Jeff Lovingood 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 that has been nominated for deletion (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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. -- penubag  (talk) 05:02, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

You must explain the importance and significance of this biography before we can keep it. Perhaps by adding notable external links and adding to the article about what he did that was important will be sufficient enough for inclusion.-- penubag  (talk) 05:09, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

"what have you done to influence this world? jeff lovingood is known in hendersonville, tennessee it seems to be a good thing to have for people who dont know him and want to her in this city."

What have I done to influence this world? Nothing, which is why I do not have a Wikipedia article about myself. If you would like us to keep this article, please provide at least a few external links, thanks. -- penubag  (talk) 05:20, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

The main purpose of speedy deletion is to keep random articles out of Wikipedia. It is, for example, not acceptable to write an article about my friend or even a school's principal. We generally include biographies if more 50,000 people know about them and what they did. To prove Jeff Lovingood's significance, provide a link to a website about him that is not a blog or myspace. Thanks, feel free to ask me any further questions. -- penubag  (talk) 05:34, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
