Notability of Natalie Kononenko

A tag has been placed on Natalie Kononenko 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 page (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. Basketball110 _{the pages I've messed up completely} 05:14, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from pages that you have created yourself, as you did with Natalie Kononenko. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, then please place {{hangon}} on the page (please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag) and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Dethme0w (talk) 05:27, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes, And I've restored it and was in the process of cleaning it up when I got an edit conflict. --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 05:42, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

I've removed the {{db-bio}} and {{hangon}} tags from this article, as the existence of published work by this person establishes notability. Dethme0w (talk) 05:46, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

That depends on the nature of the published work but thanks anyway :) --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 05:51, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

UPA99: Just a pointer for the future ... what makes academics notable is not that they've been arrested on pro-witchcraft demonstrations but that they have non-trivial published works. I've tweaked the article to make it reasonably bullet proof. It does need sources (see WP:CITE for what to reference and WP:REF for how to reference it). --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 05:51, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
