Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Adrienne Cullen, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. PDCook (talk) 15:42, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Adrienne Cullen

The article Adrienne Cullen has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

COI biography (see Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard/Archive_39#Adrienne_Cullen). No references have been given that demonstrate notability. A Google search turns up articles written by the subject, but no sources about the subject. The article makes claims of awards and a best-selling book, but I can find no sources to verify this and demonstrate notability per WP:CREATIVE.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. PDCook (talk) 15:30, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
