Blanking pages when tagging them for deletion
Please don't blank pages when you tag them for deletion, as you did with Vikram Yoga. Blanking them doesn't prevent the author from restoring it. With the exception of attack pages against living people, there is no reason to blank the pages when tagging them. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 07:08, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry; I didn't know I wasn't supposed to do that. However, while the article wasn't quite on the level of an 'attack page', it was against a person who is very much alive... Stochastic (talk) 07:20, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Stochastic! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created  is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:

 * 1) Hushang Ansary -

Proposed deletion of Hushang Ansary


The article Hushang Ansary has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * No references for nearly a year, seems unremarkable.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Beeshoney (talk) 21:54, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
