Proposed deletion of Katrina Mathers
Hello, Katminsky. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Katrina Mathers, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Katrina Mathers to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.

Thanks, JamesG5 (talk) 19:07, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi Kat. Please note the deletion request is standard per WP:BLP, bios of living people must have sources.  This is not an immediate delete, but a time delayed process to give time to bring an article in to compliance.  However, editors may review and decide to delete it for other reasons, the prime one being that autobiographies are heavily discouraged on Wikipedia due to multiple issues with them.  Please see WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY and WP:COI for more on this.  If other editors work with the page to add reliable sources and address WP:Notability issues, the page is more likely to be kept.  Shout if you have questions, I'll help if I can. JamesG5 (talk) 19:13, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Kat, I see you're adding sources, which is great, but please be aware that there're rules about what's considered reliable, especially for bios. IMDB, for instance, doesn't count.  Trying to help here, not be negative.  Check out WP:RS and WP:BLPSOURCES for more guidelines that should help. JamesG5 (talk) 01:28, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
