Speedy deletion nomination of Tracy Emblem[edit]

A tag has been placed on Tracy Emblem, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 03:33, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not an admin, so I can't provide a copy. The admin who actually deleted the article is User:Seraphimblade, so you might want to send that admin a message. As for improving the article, the bigger problem that you are going to have is that Tracy does not yet meet Wikipedia's notability standards for biographies, particularly those for political candidates. Even though she is running for a Congressional seat, she has not progressed past the party stage yet. Candidates who do not meet our notability standards for other reasons are not generally considered notable at this level of office until they win their party's nomination. That's going to be a tough hurdle to overcome, unless you can show how Tracy has met the standard in other ways. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 23:37, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
