Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

Proposed deletion of Dave Hedgepeth

The article Dave Hedgepeth has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. VQuakr (talk) 17:00, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Dave Hedgepeth. While objective prose about products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Thank you. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 18:31, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Talkback

Hello, Jonsmandel. You have new messages at Seraphimblade's talk page.
Message added 19:25, 5 July 2010 (UTC). You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.[reply]

Please point out specifically where you see promotional/advertising prose. Every point is a fact without any clear objections that you have thus far failed to point out. Which source do you think is not reliable? The post, the Northwest Current, or Hip Hop Republican?

If you look at the dc board of election and ethics list of candidates, http://www.dcboee.org/popup.asp?url=/pdf_files/nr_373.pdf, Dave Hedgepeth is mentioned on page 4. I'm going to cite that because I believe that is a reliable source.
