Talk:Catlin_Upton —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pajluvah (talk • contribs) 06:46, August 28, 2007 (UTC)
the page on Upton, under various spellings, has now been deleted 5 times, by 4 different administrators, including myself, as both non-notable and as a BLP violation. Such is the WP policy, and we must enforce it--in any case, I agree with it in this instance. The proper course if anyone wishes to appeal is via WP:Deletion review, but I advise that it is very unlikely to succeed. There is no reasonable doubt that it would be considered non-notable, and also as an attack page. Similar state winners have uniformly been held non-notable, as have those involved in minor internet memes, quite apart from BLP considerations. There are abundant other channels through which the public has access to this material, but WP is an encyclopedia. DGG (talk) 16:01, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
Unreferenced BLPs
[edit]Hello Wideeyedraven! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to this article, it would greatly help us with the current 312 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:
- Jonathan Gold - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 18:08, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Joe Hortua
[edit]Hello Wideeyedraven,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Joe Hortua for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Newrunner769 (talk) 00:01, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
The article Joe Hortua 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.
