So can i just add those sources to this page? Or will I need to add them to the original posting?
 * You will need to edit the article itself. However, it might be a good idea to abandon that page and work on a draft by using the Article Wizard. A draft page will not be deleted except under extreme circumstances, and will be reviewed by experienced editors after being submitted. If you want more help, stop by the Teahouse, Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance. Primefac (talk) 21:54, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
 * On an unrelated note, three remarks about talk page discussions: Firstly, discussions such as this one on Wikipedia are read from top to bottom; thus please add new comments below the old ones. Secondly, to clarify who said what you can indent your comment by adding a colon (or two or three...) at the beginning of a paragraph. Thirdly, please sign messages on talk pages (as opposed to edits to articles) by adding four tildes . That will produce not just a signatue with links to your user page and user talk page (ie hereto), but also a timestamp that helps others tell who said what, and when.

I am writing an article about Field Yates, an ESPN employee and analyst, and a former NFL coach and scout. It has been flagged for removal due to lack of importance. What do I need to do to prove that this man has importance?


 * You need to show that Yates has been widely written about in reliable third-party sources such as newspapers or magazines (excluding his own employer ESPN). See WP:BIO for more advice on notability of biographical articles, and WP:NGRIDIRON for NFL-specific criteria. Huon (talk) 20:51, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Field yates


A tag has been placed on Field yates 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 credibly 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 "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.
