Speedy deletion nomination of Johan Kronlund


A tag has been placed on Johan Kronlund 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 credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Tow (talk) 02:11, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Christoffer Lauridsen


The article Christoffer Lauridsen has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted 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 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 when you are ready to add one. red dogsix (talk) 03:30, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

What Wikipedia is (and is not)
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that only summarizes professionally-published mainstream academic or journalistic sources, without additional interpretation or elaboration. All information needs to neutrally cite reliable sources.

Wikipedia is not a resume-hosting site. Wikipedia is not the place to promote one's career. Wikipedia's articles are not owned by their subjects and we actually discourage people from writing or editing articles about themselves. Ian.thomson (talk) 10:26, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I should emphasize that we want professionally-published mainstream academic or journalistic sources, and further note that these sources need to be independent of you. Youtube videos are almost always rejected, even if they are of videos you produced, because anyone can upload almost anything to Youtube.  Even then, you need newspaper or magazine articles about you -- not stuff about people you've worked with, especially not not websites by people you've worked with.

Thanks for your swift help Ian. I've worked on references to to support what's listed on the site. Since I am new to wiki I appreciate the feedback to help improve my first article.

Let me just state that it is not intended to be used as a promotion site but for facts/discography only.

I've added several more references - feedback on how to improve further is more that welcome.

Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Checkpointsweden (talk • contribs)
 * The references you added either are not professionally published, or they are affiliated with you, or they are about someone else and only mention you. You need something like a newspaper or magazine article that is specifically about you.  Instagram, Discogs, Facebook, Spotify, Youtube, and lyrics websites are not accepted as reliable sources, or at least for demonstrating notability.  This source is about Beata Fesser and not about you (even if it mentions you in passing) -- it helps demonstrate Beata Fasser's notability, not your own.  While AllMusic is somewhat accepted, the page you link to only demonstrates that the song "Se Escapa Tu Amor" is notable, not you (even if you wrote it, that page is not about you).
 * Notability is not inherited. You need sources that are specifically about you, not people you work with or projects you've worked on -- but about you.
 * You also need to make sure that your citations go directly to the information needed. You are not mentioned on the first page loaded for blackandwhiterecording.co.uk.  Even then, that source is not independent since you were an employee of theirs.  You need to make sure that the sources are not affiliated with you.
 * In short, none of the sources cited demonstrate notability. Ian.thomson (talk) 12:33, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Christoffer Lauridsen


The article Christoffer Lauridsen has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * No reliable sources that are independent of the subject, fails WP:GNG

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on |the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Committing autobiography
Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Christoffer Lauridsen. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you. -- Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  16:08, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Regarding atrl.net
Forums are not reliable sources, so even if the edit filter allowed you to cite that website, it would not help the article at all. Also, as has been explained before, the source needs to be specifically about you, not someone else. Ian.thomson (talk) 12:51, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
