The article Todd Maynor has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. —KuyaBriBriTalk 17:39, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
Teahouse talkback: you've got messages!
[edit]Please note that all old questions are archived after 2-3 days of inactivity. Message added by DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 03:24, 17 June 2017 (UTC). (You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{teahouse talkback}} template).
I see you saw my post on the Teahouse, giving the new location of Draft:Todd Maynor. But it seems you didn't fully understand my comments. Perhaps I was unclear. A "cited source" is not merely a link. It is a reference to an outside document that verifies some statement or statements in the draft or article. It will immediately follow the statement(s) that it supports. It will give not only a URL, but a page title, and the name of the overal website of which it is a part. If available, it will give the name of the author and the date of publication. Please read Referencing for Beginners for instructions on how to format a source citation (there are several possible methods). Personally i favor the use of templates such as {{cite web}}, {{cite news}}, {{cite book}}, and {{cite magazine}} (and others like them) Please read WP:CITE for more on what to cite -- when a citation is needed.
URLs should appear in only two places in a Wikipedia article or draft: 1) as part of a citation to a reliable source or 2) in the External Links section. Nowhere else.
Note that blogs are pretty much never reliable sources, and should not be linked to in either place. Neither are facebook pages, unless a buisness uses one as its primsry home page. Pages that are just directory entries themselves are usually not helpful as sources. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 05:51, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

[edit]Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but it appears you have written or added to an article about yourself, at Todd Maynor. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.
