Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Larney
Have a look at  for the criteria a band should meet to have a Wikipedia page. We delete probably hundreds of band "vanity" pages a month. No agreement has been reached on what the notability criteria are for modern-day biographies, so those are often decided on a more case-by-case basis. Now, personally, I don't think Mr. Larney is notable enough to merit a page in our encyclopedia. That's not an insult - I am not notable enough either, and neither is anybody I know. Others may disagree about notability here (there are some who think notability isn't a criteria at all), and Wikipedia:Verifiability can be a useful tool in deciding cases like this as well. Are there any independent sources we can find, on the web or in a public library, to verify the claims made in a page? It's not enough that facts are true, they must be verifiable. See also Wikipedia:No Original Research - personal knowledge is never an acceptable source for Wikipedia. &mdash
