Proposed deletion of Grand Duchy of Canberra


The article Grand Duchy of Canberra 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. Karl 334  ☞ TALK to ME ☜  14:13, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

April 2011
Please refrain from writing autobiographical articles, as you did at Grand Duchy of Canberra. Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged; if you create such an article, it may be deleted. All edits to articles must conform to our policies on no original research, neutral point of view, and avoid conflicts of interest. Please remember that Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia, not a personal webspace provider. If your achievements are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. Karl 334  ☞ TALK to ME ☜  14:14, 28 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Please provide some verifiable information about the duchy as well. I can't find any mention online of the cited book, which calls into question whether it exists. How can you verify the book? —C.Fred (talk) 14:34, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Grand Duchy of Canberra. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. You may not remove the COI notice from this article, because you are the editor with the conflict of interest. Please leave the primarysources notice in place until secondary sources are provided as well (not primary sources, like the alleged late grad duke's book would be). —C.Fred (talk) 14:38, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
