Just to let you know, I saw Derek Murawski, and can recommend a better way to cite something. If you are citing a source multiple times, use <ref name="value">Link to reference</ref>, for first citing the reference. Then when you wish to cite that reference again use <ref name="value" />. "value" must be a unique value for the article, such as "youtube" or "abcnewspapers". TheWeakWilled (T * G) 14:59, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
- Yep, I just fixed it. I also tagged the page as {{gng}}, since it may not be notable, as youtube videos don't prove notability. If you want the article to stay on the mainspace, you should probably look for more sources, from reliable third party sites. If it is nominated for deletion, you can ask for it to be usefied to your userspace. TheWeakWilled (T * G) 15:07, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Derek Murawski
[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 Derek Murawski 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. Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 15:42, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
