Proposed deletion of Tom Stansfield


The article Tom Stansfield has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. 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 seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. --Animalparty-- (talk) 15:10, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Yeah no worries would gladly give online newspaper references and such, but my page has been deleted. Convenient that I can't even question the guy who deleted it.

I used the exact same format and wording as other basketball coach profiles on here - but yet mine gets deleted because of some bullshit "self promotion" nonsense, so what - it's self promoting if you aren't a millionaire is that it?

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Tom Stansfield. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Tom Stansfield, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. --Animalparty-- (talk) 15:13, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for message. Please add your messages to the bottom of the talk page, or they may be overlooked I've only just noticed your post. Two issues
 * I deleted your user page article because it is not an appropriate place to promote your career, irrespective of your wealth or fame. Wikipedia is not social media; your user page for sharing Wikipedia-related facts or non-career related personal information if you wish to do so. For example, my user page tells you about my hobby, my Wikipedia contributions and my holidays, nothing about my job or other work-related stuff.
 * Your autobiographical article has been proposed for deletion it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that you meets the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, or they will be deleted. I didn't add that prod tag, but it's standard for unsourced biographies of living people
 * The problems of writing about yourself have been highlighted by another editor above. If you add references, note that social media, Wikipedia and other sites you can edit yourself are not acceptable, nor are websites of unknown provenance or reports of interviews with you. Follow the link above to see what is acceptable.
