Paul 'Smiler' Anderson moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Paul 'Smiler' Anderson, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. —  Newslinger  talk   04:31, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

Hello @Newslinger - I'm somewhat surprised that you feel the article doesn't contain enough references as there are plenty already incuded. Could you be more specific? Lloydmayer (talk) 07:36, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi, Lloydmayer. In case you didn't see my last reply, I'm copying it here for your convenience:

—  Newslinger  talk   20:41, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

Hello Newslinger, thanks for taking the time to research Paul Anderson and for adding your comments here, I appreciate your efforts. Regret I don't have time to construct another article just now, I'll leave it for someone else to have the enjoyment of doing that! Warm wishes, Lloydmayer (talk) 20:56, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

Hello Newslinger, further to our correspondence from July, I have resubmitted the article with a reliable and independent secondary source - the BBC. The article is well referenced and I ask that you allow it to remain published for other users to add to the content. Though you may not have heard of him previously, Anderson is known to many and is an authority figure on music, style and culture. As you will now be aware from the article, he is a published author of five books; he has written sleeve notes for records; he broadcasts regularly and is interviewed for newspapers, magazines and BBC radio.

Hello, I'm SovalValtos. SovalValtos (talk) 03:10, 14 July 2019 (UTC) Hello SovalValtos, yes, we've met already. I very rarely see references for notable people added to places; more often, it's just local knowledge. You seem to be following me; I'm flattered, but also slightly disturbed by your zeal. Do you get excited when you look to see what I've contributed to Wiki? I'm also quite concerned by the time stamps on your edits - 03:10 is not a respectable time, are you getting enough sleep? Here's an article for you: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-48972243 Enjoy your Sunday, Lloyd x
