Proposed deletion of Scott Mauldin
Hello, Scottmauldin. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Scott Mauldin, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Scott Mauldin to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.

Thanks, JamesG5 (talk) 19:05, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Scott, assuming your article isn't deleted as per below, I put some notes on the Talk page.  For reference in case it's removed so you understand the issues here's what I posted-
 * I did not nom this for a speedy or standard delete as the subject's status as an Emmy award winner & otherwise recognized journalist seems to meet WP:Notability. However it has serious issues with WP:AUTOBIO and WP:PROMOTION, especially in regards to discussion of Vulcan Media. Scott, I'm going to point you here from your Talk page, but in addition to the pieces I just linked you should also look at WP:COI and WP:BLP to get a better idea of Wikipedia rules. The deletion template I added is just for a lack of reliable third party references (such as news articles about your Emmy win), adding those will negate that. However, other editors or admins may decide to put the page up for deletion because of the other issues I mentioned. Hopefully by bringing this up some other editors will come along & help the article. JamesG5 (talk) 19:15, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

Please do not write or add to an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.
