Proposed deletion of Jeffrey H. Brotman


The article Jeffrey H. Brotman 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. —Ute in DC (talk) 04:33, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Please note that assertion of permission to reproduce material is not sufficient. Also, even if the copyright issue were resolved, the promotional tone of a company or personal website is likely to be unsuitable for an encyclopedia article, which requires a neutral point of view. Article subjects need to have notability, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." There is more detail at WP:Notability (people), and good advice on how to write an acceptable article at WP:Your first article.


 * Users are strongly discouraged from writing about themselves, for reasons explained at Autobiography. JohnCD (talk) 11:40, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
