Proposed deletion of Alexander Allan Innis Wedderburn (psychologist)


The article Alexander Allan Innis Wedderburn (psychologist) has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. 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. AllyD (talk) 17:43, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Did I add enough reliable source?
Hi and thanks for the nice welcome!

I added two references to published papers to the article on AAI Wedderburn, and also linked to the member list of the British Psychological Society. I am not sure if this is enough reliable, secondary source? Can I delete the warnings or is it more polite to wait that somebody else does after checking the references I added?

He is also mentioned on the wikipedia entry of the British Psychological Society under "Presidents". There is currently a redlink on the page for him, but I did not want to link it to my new page if this gets deleted. Missmerk (talk) 19:36, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, those references are enough to remove the BLP-prod, and in fact enough to establish notability, so I have removed the tags. I have also put in place the link from the BPS article (which should serve to stop an officious "bot" labelling this article as an orphan), and created a WP:REDIRECT from Zander Wedderburn, as that is how he seems to be generally known. Well done. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 21:06, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
