Speedy deletion of Rob De Mezieres

A tag has been placed on Rob De Mezieres 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 notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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 (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

I removed the tag

but I'm still watching the page as it will likely be deleted without major improvements to the article. You've stated that you need help in showing the notability of Rob De Mezieres. What sort of help do you need? Click on the 76 in my signature to access my talk page if you have any questions. If the article is not improved after 3-5 days, I will be nominating it for deletion. Looking forward to hearing from you. Keeper | 76 20:32, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Got your message. I've gone ahead and fixed a few things, but I'm no expert in South African anything, let alone South African film directors. Some quick pointers.

1. When signing a talk page, like this one, after you've typed your message type "four tildes", like this ~~~~ to sign your username.

2. Is the film really a mockumentary (considered a comedy?), or is it actually a documentary?

3. When citing references, be sure those references are reliable. For example, you can read our section on reliable sources by clicking here. You can also read our notability guidelines by clicking here. Let me know if you have any questions about those two areas of Wiki-help, and after reading them, please tell me your honest opinion about whether you can make "Rob De Mezieres" fit in. Thanks, good luck! Keeper | 76 21:04, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
