[edit] David Hawkes (student)
A tag has been placed on David Hawkes (student), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems 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 Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out 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. SmartGuy 19:52, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Welcome!
Hello, DJLO, and welcome to Wikipedia! You asked why I nominated the David Hawkes page to be deleted. Read the above template message - it is explained there. I hope that you can make some valuable contributions to Wikipedia, but remember that topics covered must be encyclopedic, notable, and of interest to the general public.
Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.
