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

Thanks, LouiseS1979 (talk) 17:19, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi, NorRuby. I'm not convinced Jo is notable enough for Wikipedia. You need to take a look at WP:NOTRESUME, which basically states that we're not a profile site - we need evidence, in the form of proper citations from reliable sources, which prove that Jo has been talked about by independent, third-party sources. (This shouldn't just be links to people connected with her like Sean Street, nor can it really be interviews she's done while promoting her work or articles written directly from press releases she's sent out.) I've proposed the article for deletion, which means that you will need to supply these sources ASAP or risk the page being deleted. Additionally, you really need to write a biography in prose: lists of achievements read too much like a CV, which is not the right format for this site's purposes.


 * I do apologise if this seems a bit off, but new articles are subjected to considerable scrutiny when they are first uploaded into the main encyclopaedia space. If you have some sources on Jo, then please upload them to the article and I'll help format them properly. If you don't, or can't assert her notability, then unfortunately there's not much you can do to salvage the article. If you want to write a new article, I suggest you follow the instructions at WP:Articles for creation - that service offers a little bit of help to first-time editors and therefore you can get some feedback on your proposed article before it crosses the virtual desks of the new page patrollers.
