Speedy deletion of Garrett W. Graff[edit]
A tag has been placed on Garrett W. Graff 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 (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.

Speedy Deletion of Garrett W. Graff[edit]
I accidentally published when I wanted to preview. I was inteding on adding citations for notability. Any way we can re-establish this page to allow me to append notabilities? Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ggraff1987 (talk • contribs) 19:28, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
- Yes you can. Contact Icestorm815 and request the article to be restored so you can add notability/references(He is the admin who originally deleted the article). Based upon your username, i think you are writing a biography about yourself. If this is the case, make SURE you pass BLP guidelines, and also keep a Neutral point of View in mind while writing the article. Also, you don't happen to be writing about the same Garrett_Graff as this article, would you? Excirial (Talk,Contribs) 19:36, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Absolutely not and I think Garrett_Graff should not be a main page for either user rather should display links to their respective parties. Garrett M. Graff is the current biography shown on Garrett_Graff while I, Garrett W. Graff, need to create Garrett_W._Graff in order to use Wiki. I know there's sometimes a tech race to get domains but shoot, he already got me on GarrettGraff.com. Maybe it's something to consider? Thanks!

- In case you two have a similar name and are both notable, you can request that Garrett_Graff becomes a Disambiguation page. This means that it will become a starting point where both of you will be listed. Garrett_Graff would have to be moved to Garrett_Graff(Professor) or something like that, but that is not much of a problem to do. Excirial (Talk,Contribs) 19:48, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
