Speedy deletion nomination of David Kazen
A tag has been placed on David Kazen 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. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. —Largo Plazo (talk) 05:55, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add content (particularly if you change facts and figures) please cite a reliable source for the content you're adding or changing. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 19:41, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Attachment parenting
Hi. I see people have already suggested above the need to cite material added to articles, particularly if it is of a controversial nature. I have added a tag to your addition as a reminder to find a source for your addition. If you need any help with how to reference a source, feel free to ask.

Really, now -- if you just keep posting the same paragraph without any defense of it on the talk page, you're likely to get banned. Searching for "Nichols v. Nichols" generally returns a 19th-century divorce case, not a case in Austin. Please try to explain what you're trying to add on the talk page, since even folks like myself who are critical of attachment parenting don't have a clue what you're writing about in the article.

 * Quite. Is your addition related to your deleted article David Kazen? A google search of this name reveals a number of people including a divorce lawyer. If what you are adding is a personal view based on personal experience, there is no place for it on Wikipedia. This is an encyclopaedia. If, on the other hand, you are attempting to add information about a particular issue in relation to attachment parenting that has some validity, you ought to be able to produce a source setting out the point you are trying to make. You get to the talk page by clicking on the discussion tab at the top of the article. Then raise what you wish to say at the bottom of the page. Clicking on the links below here on sourcing will take you to the policies on what is and what isn't an acceptable source. If it is the case that attachment parenting is being used to argue that, say, 6 year olds can't have contact with absent parents, then that may well be of interest - but it does have to be sourced.

 * Indeed -- I, for one, would be fascinated to see how/if AP has been exploited in the legal system, and would love to see a stronger criticism section in the main article. Ben (talk) 19:04, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes. For a start, the logic of attachment theory simply does not require the extent of devoted commitment to proximity advocated by some proponents. If it's being used to argue against, eg, 6 year olds having overnight visits or something - lets find the sources.Fainites barley scribs 19:13, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Please do not add content without citing verifiable and reliable sources. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. MKoltnow 04:12, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Please do not add unsourced or original content. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Valar (talk) 01:08, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
