Speedy deletion nomination of Matt Carthy

Hello 4MEPSinnFein,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Matt Carthy for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Ishdarian 14:37, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

Deletion of Matt Carthy

You contested the deletion of Matt Carthy, saying:

This page should not be speedily deleted because... (your reason here) --4MEPSinnFein (talk) 14:42, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

This is a biographical page for a politician in Ireland. Please tell me how to make it more acceptable as a bio page. Sort of by definition, politicians do promote -- advice gratefully accepted.

I'll respond here, because that talk page is likely to be soon deleted, and you'd miss the advice. Yes, politicians do promote; that's how they get elected. But they don't use Wikipedia to do it. Biographies of politicians should discuss the subject's accomplishments and political activities, as verified by reliable sources. As Carthy is as yet only a candidate, he has yet to achieve any accomplishments or to have engaged in any significant political activities, so it is probably too soon to have an article about him. If he gets elected, and actually starts to make some noise, the article can be recreated then. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 14:50, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
