Your new article
Hi there,

I see you're trying to create an article. Thanks for that. I have taken the liberty of moving your attempt back to your userspace (it's now User:Bacon cozzers/Alan Hill (footballer)), so that you/we/others can make it a good article there before committing it back into the main encyclopaedia.

As a first step, I recommend that you go to the article on Wrexham F.C., go to the current squad list and have a look at some of the articles on current players. You may also want to take a look at some articles about big current Premiership players and/or retired players. You'll find that these articles all follow a certain outline. There are common sections such as "Club career", "International career", "Personal life", "Style of play", "Honours", etc. which are found often on footballer pages. I suggest that you browse through some existing articles about footballers, identify sections that you can put into your article and start writing those. If you want, I can keep an eye on your article to see how it goes.

You may also notice that there's usually a table on the right hand side of a player's page with short statistics. These tables always look the same because they are constructed from templates. That is a good example of a next task to tackle, once you've got most of the prose finished.

I hope that this was helpful in getting you started, --  Skysmurf   (Talk)  01:03, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Alan Hill (footballer born 1955)


The article Alan Hill (footballer born 1955) has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have 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 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 when you are ready to add one. Eeekster (talk) 23:33, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
