Speedy deletion nomination of Doug Turner

A tag has been placed on Doug Turner 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. 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.

Greetings! I've looked over the tagging of Doug Turner for speedy deletion, as well as the provided sources, and this administrator feels there is an indication of the importance or significance of the subject. Accordingly, I've removed the speedy deletion tag. This will not prevent other editors from nominating the article for deletion via the "normal" deletion policy; however, this requires that discussion be opened about the article before it can be deleted. —C.Fred (talk) 20:43, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks C.Fred. I've used wikipedia for a long time but am new to the process of posting and editing. I appreciate all the information! Politicalsavvy (talk) 20:54, 17 November 2009 (UTC)PoliticalSavvy[reply]

About File:Dtnm2010.png

Out of curiosity, when did the opportunity come up for the picture of Turner you took and uploaded as File:Dtnm2010.png? My concern is that you may have a conflict of interest with the subject—which, while it does not prohibit you from editing his article, does put a burden on you to make sure that all your edits are from the neutral point-of-view. —C.Fred (talk) 21:20, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The file and other photos were released to me by a photographer that had taken pictures of Doug. I've been a follower of the PR business in New Mexico since I was in college and am also interested in New Mexican politics, partiularly the upcoming election. I noticed that some of the links on the main page for the New Mexican Gubernatorial election for different announced candidates had no pages. Among those with no page was Doug Turner. The content of the article comes from my own research of news and political blogs throughout the state, and interviews with staff at his PR firm. I remained neutral as all the content are facts. The only possible area of question would be that I have not yet included a section on Doug's failed attempt to buy the Albuquerque Tribune newspapaer a couple years back- I'm still researching the exact details on that and have not gotten much from his staff.

Do you have evidence, then, that the photographer has placed them under Creative Commons license? I ask because, when you uploaded them, you claimed to be the copyright holder. —C.Fred (talk) 21:38, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I believe they are CCL. He signed a release form for me. I do not have any CCL certificates or a paper trail but should be able to get it. In the meantime, should I just take the photo down?

Politicalsavvy (talk) 21:45, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Leave it up and just add the explanation to the summary, that the photos were released to you, in good faith you think they're under a CC-type license, and you're double-checking with the photographer. —C.Fred (talk) 23:32, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
