Andrew Novell
Please refer to WP:ELOFFICIAL - Wikipedia aims to minimize the number of external links in articles. Since there is a link to his IMDb profile from his official website, there is no need for one in the article.

I have also restored the more footnotes tag as it is reasonable to expect multiple sources for a biography of a living person. I've also stubbed the article, since it's too short presently to provide encyclopedic coverage but has potential for expansion.

On a more general note, please make use of the edit summary field whenever you make a change, so that other editors can see the reasons why you did it. Explaining your edits shows that you are making your edits in good faith. Thanks. --Drm310 (talk) 15:30, 27 July 2015 (UTC)


 * I would appreciate if you could suggest exactly what sources for an actor to cite other than IMDB listing? Thank you for taking an interest in this page. --Tombeverage (talk) 15:43, 27 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Welcome to Wikipedia. WP:IRS and specifically WP:BLPSOURCES apply. You might also take some time to review whether WP:BIO applies to Andrew Novell. If things seem unclear, ask. Took me a few years to get the hang of the basics. ;) 85.178.209.27 (talk) 00:14, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

Citing the IMBb
Please refer to Citing IMDb. Much of the IMDb's content is user-generated with minimal editorial control, and therefore cannot be considered a reliable source except for certain types of content. --Drm310 (talk) 15:44, 27 July 2015 (UTC)


 * So if not IMDB can you suggest another reliable source? Many thanks again. --Tombeverage (talk) 15:47, 27 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Reputable websites, newspapers and magazines (online or print) are considered the most reliable sources. I have none to suggest offhand, but any source with an established reputation for fact checking and editorial oversight will be accepted - see Identifying reliable sources.


 * Another minor note - when adding to a discussion thread, use a colon to indent your comments. Indent one level more than the last comment, and that will keep the discussion neatly sorted and easier to read. --Drm310 (talk) 15:51, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

 * 1) edit the page
 * 2) remove the text that looks like this:
 * 3) save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

Proposed deletion of The acorn paradox

Speedy deletion nomination of The acorn paradox


A tag has been placed on The acorn paradox requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about something invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally, and it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Proposed deletion of Andrew Novell


The article Andrew Novell has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:

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.

 * I strongly disagree with the proposed deletion of this article. Mr Novell has appeared in a number of films and has published a novel series widely available. There and numerous example on wikipedia of subjects what have far less notoriety and whose pages are not being given this level of scrutiny.  Tombeverage (talk) 00:59, 13 September 2015 (UTC)


 * The novel series so far consists of a single book published a few months ago, and has not yet received any kind of professional review. Please note that in order to merit a stand-alone article on Wikipedia, a topic needs to be notable. Can you show that Mr. Novell's vita satisfies the requirements in any one of the guidelines listed above? So far as I can determine, it currently fails all of them.
 * Concerning the "subjects what have far less notoriety", please feel free to list a few or all of them, and I'll gladly review them. Wikipedia is a work in progress, these things happen.
 * I understand that it is frustrating to have your first efforts here put up for deletion, but these rules have evolved over the past fifteen years, and enjoy broad community support. Maybe you can publish this biography in another venue? Maybe Mr. Novell would like to host it? 85.178.217.32 (talk) 03:28, 13 September 2015 (UTC)


 * As far as I understand, all that is required for a biographical reference is the citing of one verifiable citation of the subject's contribution to a subject or field. This was originally considered adequate when the page was first created.  The reference is .  Could someone someone else please review this.  The above contributor has only contributed to my page. Tombeverage (talk) 04:37, 13 September 2015 (UTC)


 * I suggest you discuss this at Articles for deletion/Andrew Novell, lest the deletion debate proceeds without your input. Also, you'll find a wider audience there.
 * "originally considered adequate" I submit it was either not checked, or was given the benefit of doubt.
 * "above contributor has only contributed to my page" Don't let the fact that I'm currently editing anonymously fool you. 85.178.217.32 (talk) 13:43, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
