Proposed deletion of Percival (American Rock Singer)


The article Percival (American Rock Singer) 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. &#32; The nominator also raised the following concern:
 * All biographies of living people created after March 18, 2010, must have references.

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. Hairhorn (talk) 17:08, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi, you can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~. Please add your messages to the bottom of the talk page, or they may be overlooked. I did not delete your article for no reason, my edit summary made it clear that it was for advertising and as an unsourced biography of a living person. To give more detail, I deleted the article because Hope this helps  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  12:10, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * It did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that he meets the notability guidelines. It is now wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people created after March 18, 2010 must have independent verifiable references. As a matter of policy, all biographies of living people will be deleted if they do not have references. Independent sources obviously do not include the artist or his management.
 * It was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: He was a lead in the... Broadway legends... A song was written for his specific vocal abilities... works all over the EU... He has been signed several times to major labels...  able to show his full vocal and performing abilities... from the onslaught(?) the favorite... The ratings of The Voice went down by half...  SOLD OUT  [sic] club tours... one of the most awaited albums in the Industry.
 * Working with famous people does not make a performer notable, there's no reflected glory.
 * You have an obvious conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about this subject. Thank you for declaring your interest. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that your organisation is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Requested articles for the article to be created.
