Speedy deletion of Rick Strawn

A tag has been placed on Rick Strawn requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. 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 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 would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.

Are you familiar with our policies on biographies of living people? --Orange Mike | Talk 21:40, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

If he is notable please document as stated in WP:BIO. Thank you Gtstricky 21:58, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

"A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject.

• If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be needed to prove notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability.
• Primary sources may be used to support content in an article, but they do not contribute toward proving the notability of a subject."

There is a huge article on him -- which received an award -- at Legal Affairs. I cited it when I started the Misplaced Pages article. There are also many smaller articles on the Internet, didn't any of you do any research before you deleted my article? --RucasHost (talk) 14:12, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

You described him as running an "escort company". That's usually a euphemism for "prostitution ring" and tends to set off BLP alarms. Restoring article. --Orange Mike | Talk 14:20, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

That alternative meaning for "escort" is so new it's not even on the dab page for "escort" yet (might want to fix that). --Orange Mike | Talk 14:28, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Just because an article wins an award does not mean the subject of the article is notable. It probably means the author might be (actually I think she is). I added a ref and a video I found. The ref just rehashes the article you referenced from 2004. I still do not think he is notable but we will let the masses do their thing and see where it goes. Gtstricky 17:29, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly, as you are doing at Go Daddy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. GreenJoe 04:32, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
