Hi, you can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~ I deleted your recent article because it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts or show that it meets the notability guidelines. It is now wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have references.

It's best to complete the article in a sandbox or off-line, because I can only act on what I see, and I have no idea if an article will ever be visited again once created  Jimfbleak  -  talk to me?  15:53, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Kandora999 - You need to give people a chance. Check to see when the article was created and give it a set period of time before you delete. I would reccomend at least an hour. You deleted two of my articles 30 seconds after I had hit save on the second one. We don't alll know how to use wikipedia as well as you so some of us will save article and then go and check out what else we need to add and then come back to them. You are being overzealous. It's only the internet so chill for a minute!!

You guys really have no idea how famous these people are that you keep trying to delete! I'm assuming you don't live in the middle east or Africa? It's verging on racism!

April 2011
This is your last warning; the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Tom Urquhart, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. andy (talk) 14:38, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

You guys take the biscuit. How can I be vandalising an article that I created and you are trying to delete? You sir are the vandal not I. Take a good long look at yourself in the mirror.

Proposed deletion of Saba Wahid


The article Saba Wahid has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * There is no evidence in the article that she is a household name, and the only references are a brief mention in a glossy magazine (which does not refer to her as a media trendsetter) and an even briefer entry in IMDB. Fails WP:ENTERTAINER, WP:RS and WP:GNG

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. andy (talk) 15:07, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Advice
Hello, Kandora999. I am sorry that you seem to have had a rather unencouraging introduction to editing Wikipedia. Here are a few words of advice which I hope will help you.
 * 1) If you want to make a comment about something which is stated in an article, the place to do so is on the article's talk page, not in the article itself.
 * 2) It is not a good idea to sometimes edit from your account, and sometimes anonymously. At best doing so risks confusing other people, and at worst it can give the impression that you are being devious, to appear to be two or more different people. Please note that I am not suggesting that you are doing so, just that there is a risk it could look that way.
 * 3) I strongly suggest reading the guideline on reliable sources, and at least having a look at the guidelines on notability, particularly the general notability guideline and the guidelines on articles about people. You clearly went to some effort to add references to Tom Urquhart, but unfortunately they did not establish notability. Some of them were writing by Urquhart, not about him, some were not from independent third party sources, and some barely mentioned him in passing. Also, some of the arguments you have put forward for keeping articles relate to what you think constitutes notability, not to what Wikipedia accepts as constituting notability. You are perfectly welcome to argue for changes to Wikipedia's guidelines for the future, but currently pending decisions on possible deletions will be made on the basis of current guidelines, and giving reasons that conflict with those guidleines will not be likely to influence such decisions.
 * 4) In answer to "How can I be vandalising an article that I created", possibly the word "vandalising" may be open to question, but you had already been told several times that it was unacceptable to remove a speedy deletion template from an article you wrote yourself, and you continued to do so. Whether or not "vandalising" is the best word, that is unacceptable.
 * 5) Over the years in which I have been editing Wikipedia I have found that editors who assume good faith in people they disagree with, and are civil to them have a better time here than those who don't. Whether we like it or not, we all find that sometimes other editors disagree with us, and if we are nice to them we are more likely to get cooperation from them than if we antagonise them. Even when you do not feel that another editor deserves civility, it is in your own interest to be civil.

There are no doubt other things I could say that might be of use to you, but I hope those remarks will help you to some extent. Please feel welcome to contact me on my talk page if you have any questions. JamesBWatson (talk) 16:56, 15 April 2011 (UTC)


 * One more thing. I have declined the proposed deletion of Saba Wahid, as it seems clear that you don't agree with the deletion, and proposed deletion is supposed to be only for uncontroversial deletions. The article may still be nominated for a deletion discussion, but in that case you will have a chance to take part in the discussion and explain why you think it should be kept.
