I have declined your nomination for the speedy deletion of the article Eddie Byrd three times. The reasons you gave why the article should be speedy deleted are not criteria for speedy deletion, and while this article has definitely had some issues in the recent past, they are not sufficient to warrant speedy deletion. If you wish to say something about this, you can do so on the article's talk page, Talk:Eddie Byrd, or in the deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eddie Byrd.

You did so without adhereing to the Wikipedia rules and policies regarding speedy deletion, too.

Pure vandalism. This includes blatant and obvious hoaxes and misinformation, and redirects created by cleanup from page-move vandalism.
Author requests deletion, if requested in good faith, and provided the page's only substantial content was added by its author. If the author blanks the page, this can be taken as a deletion request.
An article about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant. This is distinct from questions of notability, verifiability and reliability of sources. A7 applies only to articles about web content or articles on people and organizations themselves, not articles on their books, albums, software and so on. Other article types are not eligible for deletion by this criterion. If controversial, as with schools, list the article at Articles for deletion instead.
Patent nonsense and gibberish, an unsalvageably incoherent page with no meaningful content. This does not include: poor writing, partisan screeds, obscene remarks, vandalism, fictional material, material not in English, badly translated material, implausible theories, or hoaxes of any sort; some of these, however, may be deleted as vandalism in blatant cases.
4 reasons right there from the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CSD page.
