Jesse Horn

Hi there! I noticed that you have been trying to improve the Jesse Horn article. Unfortunately, the article is currently lacking any reliable third party sources which would confirm that the subject meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines. If you read those guidelines, you will see that the sources used as references so far in the article do not meet the criteria as they are all from websites connected with the subject. If you are keen to improve the article and see it remain on Wikipedia, I suggest that you look for genuinely third-party (ie not connected with the subject) reviews of the books or articles about the subject in mainstream media (not blogs or social networks)and use those as references. It's only after the issue has been dealt with that any maintenance tags should be removed. Please also remember to add an edit summary before you save changes on a page. If you have any questions or need help, just post a message below this one and I will reply.--CharlieDelta (talk) 06:14, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for posting the question about the sources for this article on my talk page. Unfortunately, Adams Literary does not count as a reliable source for the purposes of establishing notability as they are the subject's agents (agents are usually paid by their clients to represent them) and so cannot be counted as "reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy". Have a look at the notability guidelines for creatives. The key guideline you need to be certain Jesse Horn meets is number 3: "The person has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, that has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews." There is more guidance about what counts as a reliable source here. Just below that section, you will find the guidelines for the use of self-published sources, which can be used under certain circumstances for certain elements (date of birth, personal interests, school attended etc) but are little help in establishing notability. I hope this is some help. If you could find one non-trivial third party (ie not connected to the subject at all) review or feature about Jesse Horn, that might be useable as a source. If you have any further questions just post below here and I will respond. It's a good idea to keep a dialogue like this all in one place in case anyone else wants to follow along or join in. And please try to remember to sign your comments.--CharlieDelta (talk) 06:53, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Lee Sanders

The article Lee Sanders has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable living person. No independent refs. Lots of unsupported claims.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
