Jason P. Downs
Hello, thanks for writing this article! I’ve just read it and I’m a bit concerned that that this person may not be notable by Wikipedia standards, meaning covered enough in media to write a fair article on them. (You can read Wikipedia's notability standards for academics here.)

Are there any more reliable sources (ones not written by or for this person) you can add demonstrating that the facts in this article are true? Things like interviews. If so just edit the article and add citations using the cite tool, or if you have any thoughts or questions just let me know. Blythwood (talk) 04:14, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Jason P. Downs


The article Jason P. Downs has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no reliable references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

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/dated tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Blythwood (talk) 04:52, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

Editing Wikipedia
Hello, thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia! Judging by your username, I wonder if you are writing about yourself. If so, I'm afraid this is not allowed under Wikipedia's policies.

If you are interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of palaeontogy, this is absolutely encouraged (and something you could put on your résumé as having done if you felt it would enhance your career). You might want to take a look at the Palaeontology "WikiProject", which has a chat page. Or if you have interesting photos you'd like to share, go here to donate them to Wikipedia's sister project Wikimedia Commons. Hope this is useful to you, let me know if you have any questions.
