Proposed deletion of Johnny Coffeen


The article Johnny Coffeen 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. JamesG5 (talk) 05:47, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

UPDATE: A reliable source has been added to the bottom of the article. It is a massive achievement to win an Academy Award so a Wikipedia page in reasonable.

UDPATE 2: I saw a note saying that this is "simply" just a student award for "beginning" filmmakers. This is an Academy Award issued from The Academy and the win now deems the film eligible for an Oscar, which is the same result of winning Sundance or Cannes will get you. Receiving a full-scholarship from David Lynch himself for his new film school is also no small feat.

Autobiographies & Wikipedia
Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Johnny Coffeen. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. From the accomplishments listed, it looks like you probably warrant a page, but you shouldn't be writing or editing it yourself. See also WP:PROMO and WP:COI.

 * Johnny, I saw you added a source, so I removed the BLProd (that's what we call the deletion warning). That was only there because the rules say any biography of a living person must have at least 1 reliable source.  It's a notice, not an immediate removal.  More to the point, if you note the last line of what I said above From the accomplishments listed, it looks like you probably warrant a page, but you shouldn't be writing or editing it yourself. So the issue wasn't the reasonableness of you having a page, it's that the policy is that you should not write your own page or be editing it.  Now that it's established, you should step back and let others address it.  Hope this clears things up! JamesG5 (talk) 02:08, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
