Speedy deletion nomination of Myriam Gurba[edit]

Hello Nayobim,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Myriam Gurba for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Julietdeltalima (talk) 21:57, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I genuinely appreciate your efforts to work toward inclusion of artists like Ms. Gurba in Wikipedia and want to assure you that my deletion proposal and edits are not intended to be curt or dismissive. The facts of the matter are, though, that there is a style manual, and there are criteria for inclusion in the encyclopedia. Please don't stop trying to contribute this and other articles! Read the MOS and the GNG, and keep those in mind as you prepare future articles. It's always a good idea to work on drafts in your userspace and get the articles into encyclopedic shape before introducing them to WP space, and the guidelines referenced above regarding "your first article" will explain that reasonably clearly. Good luck and best wishes —Julietdeltalima (talk) 22:02, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
