Jim Halsey and Sherman Halsey
I've read with interest your new articles about Jim Halsey and Sherman Halsey. Since both of these articles are biographies of living persons, they are subject to Wikipedia's policies regarding such biographies. Among these is that such biographies must be supported by reliable sources. While some sources have been supplied, for the most part they are not independent sources, and much of the text of each article is not directly attributed to sources. This is a particularly pressing issue with regard to the article about Sherman Halsey, because a previous article about him was examined and deleted in August 2011, based on the conclusion that his notability had not been established by independent reliable sources: please see Articles for deletion/Sherman Halsey.

If you can add such independent reliable sources to support the content of both of these articles, it would very helpful; otherwise there is a considerable likelihood that the Sherman Halsey article may be deleted again, and that the Jim Halsey article may be cut down severely or even deleted, despite his evident importance. Thanks for your understanding. --Arxiloxos (talk) 21:32, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
