Proposed deletion of Benny Troy


The article Benny Troy has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. 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. Mephistophelian (talk) 07:25, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Re: Wikipedia email
For articles to be accepted, they must be notable, meaning that they have received a reasonable amount of news coverage. As mentioned through my email reply, Wikipedia can't accept unreferenced original research. Although your article contained a large amount of information, there were only three references. I should also note that interview references should be as detailed as possible, including the publication and possible URL link to the interview. Simply adding "Rob Jones Interview 2008" won't help viewers clarify where they may find this interview. Additionally, it seems that there isn't an official website for him, suggesting that he is a lesser known singer. To improve your article, I suggest visiting your welcome links, Your first article or Writing better articles. I also suggest using the articles for creation program, this program allows users to submit articles and are reviewed by third-party users for suitability.
