Response to request
Hi, in response to your request for help here, I'd be glad to. As far as creating the page, you've accomplished that. Writing a good article is the next step. Personally, I find it unnecessary to create stubs with no intention of building a full article, so I hope it's your plan to build on that one sentence to create a full, well written article. Is there enough information out there to accomplish that? Is he notable enough? I'm not sure. I can give you the tools to do it, but finding the information and writing it is up to you. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: Remember to always keep a neutral point of view when writing. Don't write what you know, write what you can cite. Whenever you wikify pages, make sure you check that they lead directly to the desired article and not to a disambiguation page... or no page. And, typically, you only want to wikify the same word once per article... usually the first time it appears. For example, I decided to wikify the word "article". I did so in the first paragraph—the first time it appeared... and not again.

PS. I almost forgot. When you wikify, as you did in the Maroon 5 article, you only have to put two brackets "[" "]" on each side of the word. If the article's name is "Matt Flynn", you would just put Matt Flynn. If it is named "Matt Flynn (musician)", then you would put Matt Flynn —basically, the title to the article first with what you want it to read in the article second.

Last thing, type just "Matt Flynn" into the Wikipedia search box. It will bring up two other Matt Flynns.
