Proposed deletion of Dave Petrovic

The article Dave Petrovic 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.

Meatpuppetry/canvassing

Hi Peter. Welcome to Wikipedia! Please note that we have some policies you should be aware of related to using multiple accounts or recruiting other editors to edit Wikipedia on your behalf. Basically, the gist of it is that you shouldn't do it. Based on evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Peter Kowalski, I believe it likely that you informed some other people whom you know about your on-wiki activities and encouraged them to participate. While I'm glad you're excited enough about Wikipedia to chat about it with others, please don't influence discussions by recruiting editors to participate in a non-neutral way. Given the article you recently created, you may also want to read our policy on conflict-of-interest editing. Thank you for your understanding, and please do let me know if you have any questions. You can type :{{re|BU Rob13}} , a message to me, and then four tildes (~~~~) below this message to both respond and notify me that you'd like me to take a look at a question. Happy editing! ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 04:25, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
