Proposed deletion of Cydnie Hunter-McCullough


The article Cydnie Hunter-McCullough 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. Sarahj2107 (talk) 23:19, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Cydnie Hunter-McCullough has been reverted. Your edit here to Cydnie Hunter-McCullough was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.twitter.com/cydnie_hunter) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest). If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 23:21, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Just so you'll know, Twitter and other such self-published sites do not count as valid references. -- WikHead (talk) 23:23, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Please do not remove Biographies of Living Persons prods from an article unless it contains at least one reliable source or was created before 18 March 2010, as you did with Cydnie Hunter-McCullough. If you oppose the deletion of an article under this process, please consider sourcing the article or commenting at the respective talk page. Thank you. Sarahj2107 (talk) 23:52, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Cydnie Hunter-McCullough, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. -- WikHead (talk) 00:05, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not replace pages with blank content, as you did with this edit to Cydnie Hunter-McCullough, as this is confusing to readers. The page's content has been restored for now. If there is a problem with the page, it should be edited or reverted to a previous version if possible; if you think the page should be removed entirely, see further information. Thank you.
