Proposed deletion of Mark Garside


The article Mark Garside has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners or ask at Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Kudpung (talk) 12:24, 17 March 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry that your first experience with Wikipedia was to have your article threatened with deletion a few minutes after you'd started it, but I have rescued it by finding his profile on the club's website and adding this as a reference to a "reliable source". Wikipedia is very keen to avoid rubbish or malicious articles about living people, so there is a rule that every new article about a living person MUST have a source. All articles SHOULD have sources, but articles about living people are particularly sensitive.  In future, please remember to add at least one source - a reference to the club's site or a newspaper report, for example - when you start a new article. Welcome to Wikipedia, and good luck with your editing.  Now that we've prevented this article from being deleted, please flesh it out with more information on Mark Garside: it's a bit minimal at present. Thanks. PamD (talk) 14:07, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
