Richard Staff and Waldwick, New Jersey
Your recent edit to the article for Waldwick, New Jersey added Richard Staff as a notable resident. Wikipedia policy requires that additions be accompanied by reliable and verifiable sources to support such claims, from independent sources such as newspapers, magazines or books. There is no article for Richard Staff or for The Teemates, nor was any source provided here. I searched Google / News / Archives / Books and could find no source to support a connection to Waldwick. Please make sure that the entry is reinserted only if an appropriate source can be found to support the claim and please feel free to contact me on my talk page with any questions.

 * The link about The Teemates you added in this edit to the article for Waldwick, New Jersey, establishes that Staff was a member of the band, but makes no mention of any connection to Waldwick, and as such the entry has been removed again. In some circumstances a website like http://www.60sgaragebands.com/ may be reliable and verifiable, but ideally sources should be from newspapers, magazines or books, and the source provided needs to show that there is a specific connection between Staff and the Borough of Waldwick. The fact that there is no article for either the band or for Richard Staff only makes the issue that much more complicated, as many other editors will remove entries for notables if there is no associated article. Given the individual that you are adding and your username, you may also want to review Wikipedia Conflict of Interest policy to ensure that there are no issues.
