Proposed deletion of Robert Lange - Hyper Realist Painter


The article Robert Lange - Hyper Realist Painter 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. WWGB (talk) 14:12, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Robert Lange - Hyper Realist Painter, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia for multiple reasons. Please see the page to see the reasons. If the page has since been deleted, you can ask me the reasons by leaving a message on my user talk page.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate).

Status and Advice
I deleted the article again. You can not copy from the authors bio on a web site. Even if permission were obtained, it would still look promotional. I would not have deleted as promotional,because it could easily have been rewritten, but you should make it less promotional-appearing by removing adjectives of praise--and you must also include references providing substantial coverage from  3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases.
