Proposed deletion of Siamak Dehghanpour


The article Siamak Dehghanpour has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have 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 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. Dennis Brown (talk) 19:40, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for email. If you recreate, make sure you provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that he meets the notability guidelines. It is now wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references. As a matter of policy, all biographies of living people will be deleted if they do not have references.  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  17:12, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

I made these edits (MoS, couple of wikilinks, typos). I don't think it would now be eligible for speedy deletion. To avoid nomination for deletion, I'd suggest the following
 * Lose the external links section, since it only consists of social media sites it looks both spammy and a bit desperate.
 * Add more wikilinks, it's a fair bet that the WTC and Pentagon have their own articles!
 * His actual biographical details are not sourced, if he is genuinely notable, you ought to be able to find something, perhaps on the station's website to confirm this

Thanks for email, I'm not sure what's happening here. The article is visible this morning, and isn't even tagged for deletion (note that if it were to be deleted, I could retrieve the text for you). Dennis Brown has made some helpful edits, and I don't think the article is at risk at present, he's just suggesting more references.

Remember that you don't own the article, which anyone can edit. Links to YouTube are discouraged because thee is so much copyright infringement there, and it's not a reliable source anyway. The only point of the WTC and pentagon links is that you should link to other Wikipedia articles anyway, as good practice, even if they are not directly relevant.

 * As far as I can see, all Dennis has done is to remove the userpage tag (since it isn't in userspace now) and add a tag for more refs, which as I said don't have to be in English.  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  06:44, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Siamak Dehghanpour


The article Siamak Dehghanpour has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Self promotional WP:Advert that does not establish WP:Notability

While all constructive 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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
