 * Again, welcome. There are a couple of points to note: first, please do not add information to articles that are tangential to their subject matter - for instance, the Oswald Stoll article should contain specific information about that person - not, irrelevancies about a specific theatre in Wales. Secondly, whereas the information you added is interesting, it should always be cited to a reliable source; information from your own archives - or, researches - is original research and is not appropriate for inclusion on wikipedia. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, please take the time to read about what wikipedia is, and I'm sure you'll make a positive contribution to the project. Thanks Kbthompson (talk) 10:42, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I also note that you claim copyright to your writing. Unfortunately, by contributing to wikipedia you publish your material under a WP:GFDL licence - you retain no rights to the material. Thank you. Kbthompson (talk) 10:49, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Bill Randell

 * A1 - No context, A7 - Non-notable (in wiki context)

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy).

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article.

 * Hi, you are very welcome to contribute to wikipedia

Please do take the time to read the links in the welcome page, they are useful to you and will help you in writing articles for wikipedia. HTH Kbthompson (talk) 18:11, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) There must be no copyright material - the BBC is copyright; if it appears there; it can't appear here - that is why "Bill Randell" has been deleted.
 * 2) Any information placed here, is defacto not copyright - by adding it you give permission for it to be used, edited and modified in any way any other user sees fit.
 * 3) Information must be relevant to the article - information about south Wales theatres owned (and in one case, not owned by Stoll) would be appropriate in an article on theatres of South Wales, it is extremely tangential to an article on Oswald Stoll.
 * 4) Please do not use articles for discussion; you will notice there is an attached 'talk' page to each article. Concerns, etc, are normally raised there - and if you use them someone is likely to help you with producing information suitable for inclusion in wikipedia.
