Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 18:44, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Regarding your reverts to the Alexandra Govere article here, the article was not "approved and sourced for years". The fact that no one with a proper understanding of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines noticed the article until now that does not confer "approval". Among the site's policies and guidelines for its content:


 * We do not add material unless it is accompanied by an reliable, verifiable source in the form of an inline citation. The version of the article you reverted to contains no source given for statement about her being an accomplished ballerina, her completion of high school at age 14, or the statement "She is no longer working with Krucial, and is currently working on an independent folk release, as is evidenced by her recent Facebook videos and posts." Please see WP:V and WP:CS.
 * In addition, sources whose content is user-generated, such as YouTube and Facebook, are not permitted, as they are not considered reliable sources under the site's Reliable Sources policy. Please see WP:USERG and WP:SELFPUB in particular for more on this.
 * We do not refer to subjects by their given name. We refer to them by their surname.
 * When giving a location in terms of the city and U.S. state, the name of the state is not abbreviated.
 * We do not refer to events as "recent", since this is dated and meaningless to a reader who does not know how "recent" you mean. Please see WP:DATED. Nightscream (talk) 19:54, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
