Proposed deletion of Jeffrey Gribler


The article Jeffrey Gribler 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. Morning Sunshine (talk) 15:26, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

 * The same applies to your article about Jeffrey Gribler which is also a copyright infraction of text taken from http://www.paballet.org/artistic_staff.html.De728631 (talk) 15:44, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

I have actually marked all your articles about PA Ballet staff members for deletion because of copyright violations. But even if you own the rights to the texts on the PA Ballet homepage, those biographies are much too promotional to be used as an encyclopedic article and would have to be rewritten from a neutral point of view. Apart from that our rules about notability require that all articles about living persons have third-party references that assert the importance and notability of the person portrayed. Such references include repeated nationwide reliable news coverage or feature articles in magazines. Without any such external sources biographies of your staff are not suited for Wikipedia either.

 * I've deleted all the tagged pages, and the Michael Sheridan overwrite has been reverted by another editor. I can only suggest that you read the above carefully. You cannot use text clearly marked Copyright © 2010 Pennsylvania Ballet. All Rights Reserved unless you can prove you own the copyright and are prepared to release it under a free licence. You cannot create biographies which are written in a promotional tone  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  18:41, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
