Proposed deletion of Don O'Neill, fashion designer


The article Don O'Neill, fashion designer has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one reliable 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 the 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. MikeWazowski (talk) 20:41, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

The article was a copyright violation of the Theia website, which does not explicitly state that its content is public domain. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright isn't sufficient. But in any case the copyrighted text is far too promotional to be useful for Wikipedia's purposes, so there would not be any point in your jumping through all the hoops that are required. You would have to rewrite from scratch.

When you write a biography of a living person, it is mandatory to provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. You have only one independent reference, the New York Times, which does not verify most of the text.

The article was written in a promotional tone. Please see this information. Examples of unsourced spam include known for his elegant and sophisticated eveningwear... his immense talents... enormously successful and so on. It's just an advert for him.

Your user name suggests that you have a conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about him. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that he is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you can post a request at Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.

Note that you must not use an organisation's name as your user name. I'll block this account soon, so please set up a new one if you wish to continue contributing.  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  06:26, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
