Proposed deletion of Nicholas Hakebourne


The article Nicholas Hakebourne 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.  role player 21:31, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Gerd Leufert
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Gerd Leufert, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.ceciliadetorres.com/current_ex/gl_bio.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 03:40, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Gerd Leufert
A tag has been placed on Gerd Leufert requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.  ttonyb (talk) 03:41, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

I've been away for a couple of days, seen your message, but no time to act since away again tomorrow morning, will see what I can do when I return  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  20:14, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I deleted your recent article because it did not provide independent verifiable sources that it meets the notability guidelines. Also it is now wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have references The first three paragraphs are completely unreferenced, read like reviews rather than verifiable facts, and sometimes spammy eg witty and complex material. He may well be notable, but the only references seem to be to auction websites, which are not RS, rather than to, say, serious newspapers or relevant magazine or museum sites. The whole article appears to be floss to promote his work, rather than a serious encyclopaedia article  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  15:14, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
