Proposed deletion of James Jim Allen


The article James Jim Allen has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have 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 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.

 * You may find this article useful. Basically, though, the references need to be specific - each specific fact in the article backed up by a specific checkable reliable 3rd party source (especially for a biography of a living person) rather than just a list of media at the end.

 * But the point is that the article needs to be referenced so that "He did X" is sourced specifically to this article by that journalist in that publication, i.e. something that can be checked. Just saying Alamance News or whatever falls far short of that. If you have these references to hand, please add them into the article. See Cary D. Allred for a nearby example article.
