Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Brad J. Lamb, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Echoedmyron (talk) 14:48, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
 * In short, the additions you made merely act as promotion and advertising without conferring notability (phrases such as "very prominently" without anything to back it up in the way of a source, for example). Biographies of Living Persons are held to a higher standard for verifiability and notability, and the article is woefully unsourced. You should read WP:BLP for more on what is required for Biographies. Wikipedia is also not meant as a vehicle for advertising per WP:NOTADVERTISING, and the article is littered with WP:PEACOCK terminology. In simple terms, the article repeatedly says that Lamb is important without providing support from third party sources (such as news articles) to back it up. In the meantime, another editor (not I) has nominated the article for deletion here: ; so if you wish to develop the article and state a case for maintaining it (with proper attribution) that would be where to discuss further.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to remove Articles for deletion notices or comments from articles and Articles for deletion pages, as you did at Brad J. Lamb, you may be blocked from editing. Echoedmyron (talk) 18:23, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

I added additional sources to refute Nomoskedasticity's claim and replied on the page for deletion. I'm sorry if I did not follow proper protocol. I was of the understanding that once I added sources and responded on the page deletion forum I was good to go. Apologies, do I await a response from an administrator before removing the page deletion code from Brad Lamb's wiki? Didn't intend to ruffle feathers.
 * The discussion is still ongoing, and the result of the discussion, consensus, decides whether or not the article merits keeping or deletion, and thus whether or not the tags may be removed. At the moment 2 editors say to delete, and only you say to keep it; you need to let it run its course, and engage in conversation on the deletion page to come to consensus.

I noticed my additional sources at the bottom are no longer there. I had linked to interviews with CNBC, CTV, City TV, etc and magazine articles featuring Brad Lamb. Without these additional sources I would imagine other editors would also claim there are not enough sources to prove what the bio states. Thanks for walking me through this process.
 * They were originally removed by Nomoskedasticity, and while I am specualting, no doubt this was because it was a list of sources that were not used as in-line citations to indicate what they were backing up. WP:CITE covers use of citations and also links to other useful articles. In particular, WP:RELIABLE covers what are considered reliable sources for use on wikipedia. Videos and podcasts are generally frowned upon, and written sources - news articles, for example - with which text can be compared are preferred. Echoedmyron (talk) 18:50, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
