Proposed deletion of Don Monte Morris


The article Don Monte Morris has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this 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/dated tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. red dogsix (talk) 00:40, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

Don Monte Morris
Rather than delete this, I have moved it to Draft:Don Monte Morris where you can work on it. It needs better references. For anything about a living person, it is important that everything significant the article says is verifiable from a reliable, published source. The point of "published" is that a reader should, in principle, be able to check where Wikipedia got its facts from.

I have to say that, although Dr Morris is evidently a remarkable person, I am not sure that he meets Wikipedia's quite demanding inclusion standard known as Notability, which looks for references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Youtube, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people not connected with the subject thought him significant enough to write substantial comment about? See also Notability (summary) and Notability (people).

Add the best references you can find; when the article is ready, click the blue "Submit" button, which will send it for review by an experienced user, who will either accept it or give you feedback.

There is advice about how to add references at Help:Referencing for beginners. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 22:06, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
