Proposed deletion of Gwyn Pritchard


The article Gwyn Pritchard has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has 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.  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  12:14, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

Comment
Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Toccata quarta (talk) 13:01, 13 October 2013 (UTC)


 * I've removed one reference because it links to a sales page. Two more I've moved to an external links section since they don't mention him and seem intended as links to the organisations. Your refs would look better if you formatted them  as I've done for the ELs, [url description] instead of a bare url  Jimfbleak  -  talk to me?  16:18, 13 October 2013 (UTC)


 * With regard to the London Ear. The only direct mention is what you say, that he's the boss. It's not ideal as a reference since it's clearly not an independent source, and my view is that it's better as an EL, but I won't revert if you move it. The only thing you mustn't do is have it as both ref and EL  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  05:43, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

 * I have recommended on the AFD page that it be speedily deleted as a copyright violation in 24 hours unless it is re-written as an acceptable, copyright-free, article which uses reliable sources to demonstrate that this person meets Wikipedia's notability criteria. I also summarily removed all obvious copyright violations from the primary source.  davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)  17:02, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
