A tag has been placed on Geoffrey Lillemon 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 important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Logical Fuzz (talk) 13:22, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I saw your {{helpme}} on the talkpage of the article above. How may I be of assistance? Bjelleklang - talk 14:15, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The best thing you can do is to add references that shows him being notable, and add a note on the talkpage of the article saying why it shouldn't be deleted. Also add {{hangon}} to the article itself to show that you object to the deletion. Bjelleklang - talk 14:54, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. 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. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 15:25, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that assertion of permission to use text is not enough.

Also, even if the copyright issue were resolved, the promotional tone of a company or personal website is likely to be unsuitable for an encyclopedia article, which requires a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not to be used for any kind of promotion.

Article subjects need to have notability, which is not a matter of saying so but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." There is more detail at WP:Notability (people), particularly the section WP:ARTIST, and good advice on how to write an acceptable article at WP:Your first article.
