Proposed deletion of Evan Starkman

The article Evan Starkman 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.

Evan Starkman

Thanks for the valiant effort. Yes, it does look better, but as far as I can tell there are still problems. This does not have so much to do with what you have done, but the lack of things that Evan Starkman has done. However, this is my opinion. But, if you want, here are some pointers. By the way, you can just tell me to fix it myself. You can find most of this in WP:MOSBIO.

The opening should have the subject's name in bold, you can add bold by placing three apostrophes on each side, '''Evan Starkman''' renders as Evan Starkman
Per WP:BLP, we need a reliable source for his real name.
"He is seen as one of the strongest..." is WP:POV without a source.
We should refer to him as Starkman, and not Evan in the article, see we are not his personal friend, per WP:MOSBIO.
There should be a separate section for his charitable work, and clothing line. This is probably the only thing that might save the article, so it should be emphasized, otherwise it's mostly WP:ONEEVENT.

Let me know if you have any further questions. The main reason I haven't fixed these things myself, is that I still think he isn't notable enough. However, that's my opinion. Thanks! Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 01:06, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's even better. I think that is about as good as it's going to get. We shall see how the WP:AFD plays out. I still think that notability is an issue, but others may disagree. Thanks! Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 02:44, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
