Deletion
Hi, before I deleted, another editor moved the article from Dr. Beachcomb to S. Deacon Ritterbush, leaving a redirect at the former. their comment was Move to name of person; WP:COMMONNAME does not seem to apply here since both seem to be used more or less equally

There were several issues with the article as it looked when it was deleted.
 * It did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts or show that she meets the notability guidelines for people. It is now wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references. As a matter of policy, all biographies of living people will be deleted if they do not have independent references
 * It was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Unsourced non-neutral text presented as fact includes a leading expert... award-winning book... her love for all things coastal...  proponent and early champion... regarded as important points of departure... spearheaded... An inspiring and knowledgeable speaker... and much more in a similar hagiographic vein.
 * This article was created in a single edit with no wikilinks, references or categories. It looks as if it was pasted from an unknown and possibly copyrighted source. The editor who moved the page also tagged it as a possible copyright violation. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to web pages created by you, unless they state clearly that the text is public domain. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright isn't sufficient. But in any case the pasted text is far too non-neutral to be useful for Wikipedia's purposes, so there would not be any point in your jumping through all the hoops that are required.

You can recreate at any time, although it should be obvious from the above that the article needs some work if it is to survive. Etta James is on main page at the moment, you don't need that detail, but it might give some ideas  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  11:35, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
