Hi, you can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~. I deleted your article because it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. (organizations and companies) (people) It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, or they will be deleted.

The entire content of the article was: Dan Alex Sârbu is a Romanian rock musician and composer. There isn't even a claim of notability, let alone references for such a claim. I noticed that you linked to the Romanian article. This should done using Dan Alex Sârbu

Thanks
Thank you sincerely for all the informations you wrote me... infact I haven't much experience with Wikipedia...

My idea was to translate in future the romanian article, so I created that page... but you've been really quick in deleting the article... :) UK efficiency...

I've tried to use the link Dan Alex Sârbu but it doesn't work so I used this one: Dan Alex Sârbu.

Ciao, Dan

I think you may be missing the point. You can't use a Wikipedia page as your reference (it can be self-edited, so not a reliable source), so there is no reason to have a link in the article itself. The format I suggested creates a language link in the sidebar. You need to remove the nowiki bits for it to work.

There shouldn't be any url links in the text anyway, only in the Reference or External links section. Just translating the Romanian article may not be sufficient, it's not clear to me even in that article why they meet the notability criteria, and it doesn't appear to have proper references  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  06:22, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

I didn’t intend to use an external link in the English final version of the article... it was only a temporary solution. At this time, using the link directly to the Romanian page, I no longer need to retrieve the article that you deleted. Probably, later, when I’ll have more time, I’ll recreate it correctly so you’ll be not anymore obliged to cancel it.

Thank you again.

Best regards, Dan
