Proposed deletion of Curtis M. Loftis, Jr.


The article Curtis M. Loftis, Jr. has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners or ask at 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. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 19:32, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

 * I have now added one reference to the article and a few categories; if I've got any of this wrong, please let me know. It would be good to add more references, especially regarding his political career; there are several shown on the equivalent article on Wapedia which might be usable. I'll see if I can get time to look in more detail tomorrow, but I get easily distracted, so may forget. Come back to me if I can be of further help. Cheers.

 * I have assembled eighteen references, including one wikipedia page and will struggle to include them tomorrow. Thank-you very much.Dunceton (talk) 01:58, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I have edited the page with a number of references, both to Wikipedia pages, periodicals and websites; I previewed it several times, then pressed save page. However, I do not see the changes. Your comment always appreciated. As an old man, I find this all a tad daunting. Best Dunceton (talk) 21:56, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I have amended the article to include the references on your user page. I hope this is all OK. Best wishes from England.   Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 06:23, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the note - sorry about my typing error. I have now fixed this and the article should look OK. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 21:27, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
