Sourcing of content
You may have very good sources for your additions. These need to be provided when you add content to the encyclopedia. Please consult WP:V and WP:RS if further assistance is needed. Also, there are a number a help sources including Teahouse - you can get help by asking questions about how to do things properly. I have taken the liberty of adding you to the Love Cabal and so you will see a heart on your page - please feel free to remove this if you like. Happy Editing !

 * Smile. You are trying to add references ! Thank you. Excellent. So here is another wrinkle - we don't reference loosely. In other words, we look for references that support the actual specific fact element that is being added. So please understand that referencing to general themes isn't enough. (In particular, referencing in a loose way to Wikipedia articles isn't what's needed - a common misconception !) Soooo, if you want to add something like "X dates to 1903" you would need to add a reliable source that said (or VERY strongly implied) that... rather than a Wikipedia link to 1903. I hope this helps. FeatherPluma (talk) 00:35, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

Calazans (surname)
Please don't remove the tags on the article until the underlying issues are fixed. You can't use Wikipedia as a reference, so technically, the article is unreferenced. And notability isn't obvious, and isn't established, via WP:N. To avoid deletion of the article, leave the tags on, fix the problems, then remove the tags. Otherwise, it will end up at Articles for Deletion. Dennis Brown - 2&cent; 01:10, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Matt Zane (singer)


A tag has been placed on Matt Zane (singer) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.  Seagull123  Φ  20:35, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
