Proposed deletion of Cathrine Hasse

Hello, TechnuCate. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Cathrine Hasse, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Cathrine Hasse to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.

Thanks, VI-007 (talk) 14:15, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Cathrine Hasse

The article Cathrine Hasse has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article. The nominator also raised the following concern:

All biographies of living people created after March 18, 2010, must have references.

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}} 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. VI-007 (talk) 14:21, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi,

Our entry on professor Cathrine Hasse has been proposed for deletion due to lack of sources. We are newcomers on Wiki. How can we create reliable sources to this page? We already checked the pages on this subject, but are still not confident how to add sources and citation for verification of this page. Thanks!

Hi TechnuCate. There are two elements to the process you need to follow...

First, you need to locate some reliable sources about Prof. Hasse. This can be tricky with academics, since the sources Wikipedia requires need to be both reliably published and independent of the subject. Her own work, her University bio page, her LinkedIn profile and so on won't suffice; you need to locate news stories about her which have been published in the media, discussions of her and her work in appropriate scholarly journals (note: not articles that she herself has written), books which talk about her and so on. Have a read of the guide to identifying appropriate sources for some help.

Once you've found such sources (that's the difficult part done!) you just need to incorporate them into the article. To do this, find a statement on the page that is verified by a source. Let's say that the statement "Hasse since 2013 has lead the research program Future Technologies, Culture and Learning" is confirmed by an article in New Scientist. In the Wikipedia article, you would edit the text as follows: "Hasse since 2013 has lead the research program ''Future Technologies, Culture and Learning''<ref>details of New Scientist Article (issue number, page number etc.)</ref>". Enclosing the details of the source between <ref></ref> tags tells the software to place a citation at that point in the text.

At the bottom of the page, you would then add the heading: ==References== and below that the code {{Reflist}}. This will automatically format the references appropriately at the bottom of the page. See this help page for more details.

If suitable sources don't exist, then Prof. Hasse probably doesn't meet Wikipedia's standard for inclusion, and no amount of work on the article will prevent its ultimate deletion. However, we do have a specific standard for the inclusion of academics (precisely because they don't always have sufficient coverage in sources) - if she can be shown (using a source) to meet at least one of the criteria set out on this page then an argument can be made for keeping the article, even though sufficient sourcing to meet the general notability guideline doesn't exist.

Hope this helps clear things up. Yunshui 雲‍水 18:56, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
