A tag has been placed on Gerran Howell, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Authored own article, no apparent notability and no citations

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, 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 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. WebHamster 22:55, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Speedy tag removed

I've removed the speedy deletion tag, though the article may well be challenged via other mechanisms. If you are the subject of the article, please review the Wikipedia guideline on conflict of interest - as noted above - before editing the article any further. Thank you.--Kubigula (talk) 03:00, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
