Speedy deletion nomination of Amy Gore
[edit]
You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.
Thank you.
A tag has been placed on Amy Gore requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Syrthiss (talk) 15:40, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!!! I've declined the deletion request for the article Amy Gore, because it does meet the inclusion standards, and I've wikified the article a bit to meet our standards. However, because Gore is a real person, her article needs to comply with Wikipedia's biography of living people policy. It is best if the article is based on independent, reliable sources that discuss Gore (note that this usually doesn't include websites, as they are self-published sources, but would include articles in newspapers or magazines). I found quite a few of these in a search of Google News, so I'm sure that this will be fairly easy to do. WP:Citing sources is a good reference for how to cite any articles that you find. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Happy editing! Karanacs (talk) 18:52, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
Unreferenced BLPs
[edit]
Hello Dcrocker25! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 230 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:
- Nikki Corvette - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
