Proposed deletion of Nate Walker


The article Nate Walker has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has 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. Eeekster (talk) 22:00, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

I'll help as I can...
Hello. I'm Sector001, a veteran Wikipedian who concentrates mostly on articles involving Missouri. I've done extensive work on Wikipedia articles on Missouri House of Representatives and Missouri Senate members -- including Zachary Wyatt and Rebecca McClanahan. I've been gathering information with proper references on Representative-elect Walker in recent weeks in the event he won the election. Honestly, I had intended to wait til closer of his January swearing in to actually create a Nate Walker article, but now that you've started the ball rolling I'll go ahead and try to flesh things out. Hopefully this will keep other editors from nominating the article for deletion again. Best regards, Sector001 (talk) 01:57, 11 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Update -- I've just finished a major expansion of the Nate Walker article. One thing still missing is a photo. I'm assuming from your username Mbwalker that you may be his son Madison? If so do you have a photo of your father -- one that you or he hold any copyright to free & clear -- that can be added to the article? Wikipedia has some strict -- and sometimes frustrating -- rules about what photos can be uploaded, copyright infringement, etc. Under those rules in order to use one of Nate's standard "campaign photos" would require getting the persmission of the actual photgrapher for its use, and having it e-mailed to a special Wikipedia address. Rather than jumping through all those hoops, so to speak, if you have one you yourself have recently taken of your dad it would considerably easier.
