Notability of Liam O' Farrell[edit]

A tag has been placed on Liam O' Farrell requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, 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 assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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. Bonadea (talk) 20:28, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

About Aussie Mite[edit]

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! You were asking about how to add information about a person to an article - the basic principle is that all information you add has to be verifiable, which means that people who read the article should be able to check the information themselves in a reliable source. It doesn't have to be an online source (in fact, many printed sources are much better than many online sources). Please read the two articles I linked to (verifiability and sources), and also have a look at the policy on original research, which is a very fundamental guideline. Basically, you may know that something is true, yourself, but unless you can point at a published reliable source for it, you can't add it to Wikipedia.

Hope this helps. :-)
