Proposed deletion of Paul A. Paddock


The article Paul A. Paddock has been proposed for deletion because, 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) 22:31, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Please do not write an article about yourself, as you did at Paul A. Paddock. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Paul A. Paddock. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. In particular, you may not remove the COI tag; it is there because you edited the article. Please leave it until an independent editor, unrelated to the subject, has edited the page. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 03:06, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
