I would appreciate it if one of the senior users told me how to confirm the reliability of living people biographies. I have made a page which has been supported with various verified sources. However, I am not clear why it is set for deletion because of a "copy and paste page move". I was wondering how I could avoid this deletion.

@Missuse: Not sure about the procedural move - it may be something to do with making sure the page history is kept as well as the content - but sources such as Facebook and Amazon are not actually reliable sources (please read the pages on WP:BLP and WP:RS which would help in this matter). Basically, social media and product pages are not third-party or neutral; they are self-published or promotional and should really be avoided and/or removed. You have some sources in there which look reliable (e.g. the BBC) news pages, which are more indicative that the subject is notable enough for the encyclopaedia; subjects have to be notable as well as verifiable. (BTW could you please sign your posts, using four tildes as suggested by most talk page headers.) LS1979 (talk) 21:19, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Lstanley1979: thank you for your comments. Reading the guideline you sent me, I assume this person is notable. I remove the Amazon and FB page immediately, there are almost 25 references, 6 of which are BBC News, BBC Radio 4 CNN, Washington Times and Oxford University webpages. I hope it will meet the standards of wikipedia.

Can you also guid me how to remove the deletion notice and prevent it from receiving such notices in future too? Missuse (talk) 21:38, 13 December 2014 (UTC)missuse (talk) 21:38, 13 December 2014[reply]
