Speedy deletion of Clare Van Hoorebeke
A tag has been placed on Clare Van Hoorebeke requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Scapler (talk) 03:39, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Mary Kay Letourneau ("Citation Needed" tag)
Hi Allen,

I noticed u reinserted mention of Letourneau cheering for Servite and dating Ron Garretson. Unfortunately, I could find no reliable source (WP:Reliable Sources) online for either item. The only websites mentioning it used lines directly copied from us here at Wikipedia (we can't source ourselves) and were unseemly, seedy sites (as in "hot-for-teacher" sex sites). Therefore, I recently deleted the mention, after initially placing a "citation needed" tag. What I'll do again, for now, is place a citation needed tag text to the text you reinserted. If you have or know of some reliable source, please feel free and encouraged to add the citation/footnote and remove my tag.

Thanks a lot, Beansandveggies (talk) 08:06, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please be aware of Wikipedia's policy that biographical information about living persons must not include unsupported or inaccurate statements. Whenever you add possibly controversial statements about a living person to an article or any other Wikipedia page, as you did to Cathy Rigby, you must include proper sources. If you don't know how to cite a source, you may want to read Referencing for beginners for guidelines. Thank you.JeanColumbia (talk) 16:01, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

There is a discussion going on now about whether and under what circumstances the IMDB may be used as a reliable source (WP:RS). That discussion is here:. Until that matter is resolved, I believe that using the IMDB for personal matters, such as you did in the Cathy Rigby article, should not be done. Please seek other sources, keeping in mind the principles at WP:BLP, namely: " All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source using an inline citation. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion."
