Proposed deletion of Carolyn Scott-Hamilton
Hello, Megreese1. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Carolyn Scott-Hamilton, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Carolyn Scott-Hamilton 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.

 * Hi - we need some sources that are independent of the subject, e.g. newspaper articles, . You also need to study what the notability guidelines say, and establish why Ms Scott-Hamilton is notable. Just be careful when adding articles like this - Wikipedia isn't a place to host a resume or promote someone's work (however worthy they might be of an article, and it's possible you might find some reliable sources on this person out there), it's an encyclopaedia, which means we need proof of the subjects' achievements through sourcing.


 * Have a look through the links in the next section at what Wikipedia is and is not and help expand Ms Scott-Hamilton's biography in line with those standards. Thanks for contributing! LouiseS1979 (pigeonhole) 08:12, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
