A tag has been placed on Dave Miller (New Zealand musician) 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. Truthanado (talk) 01:06, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re Mike mccracken -- please don't post empty "placeholder" articles. Write the article first, then post it. NawlinWiki (talk) 19:42, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Please stop. If you continue to create inappropriate pages such as Mike mccracken, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Don't waste our time with bogus "under construction" tags and then write that someone's a hedge trimmer. NawlinWiki (talk) 19:43, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In the comments above, you've been (repeatedly) pointed to our guidelines on who is a notable subject for a Wikipedia article. Before pleading for an article to be kept, you need to read those guidelines. A gardener at a country club is not notable per WP:BIO. NawlinWiki (talk) 19:58, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Your question has been answered. If you continue to pester other users with the same question, you will be blocked. OhNoitsJamieTalk 20:04, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 20:05, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This is your last warning. The next time you create an inappropriate page such as Mike McCracken, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. NawlinWiki (talk) 20:06, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Because you're posting pages that are either (1) empty of content, or (2) on subjects that clearly don't meet WP:BIO. All you have to do to avoid being warned or blocked is to stop doing this. NawlinWiki (talk) 21:19, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In response to your message, I deleted your article Mike McCracken back in April 2006 because it was not an encyclopaedia article about a notable individual. Let me re-iterate what others have said above: Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, and any individual should be considered notable (per the criteria at WP:BIO) before an article can be written about them. In your instance, the article you wrote looked very much like self promotion. It was certainly not written in an encyclopedic manner, and failed to assert any notability about the individual concerned.
Note also that edits like this are inexcusable. Please take note of the warnings left by others and do not continue to vandalise articles in this manner, or to re-create your article on Mike McCracken. If you do so, you will be banned from editing. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 22:34, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
