Proposed deletion of Nina Jo Schmale


The article Nina Jo Schmale 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. Inlandmamba (talk) 02:43, 23 March 2012 (UTC)


 * The "subst:prod blp|reason" tag was placed in error. Nina Jo Schmale is a dead person. I removed the tag. There may be other reasons for deleting the article – her notability lies solely in being a murder victim. But I don't feel that I can make that call.

Hello, please go ahead and delete the article. We will probably re-write it to deal with the copyright issue, but that won't be for another month or so. However, even if we do deal with the copyright issues, will the article still be acceptable to be displayed on Wikipedia? We don't want to have to re-write the article only to have it removed again because of her notability. Dauntless77 (talk) 16:01, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
