User talk:Tonyfigi

Hi, Tony and welcome to Wikipedia. I have just looked over your new article on David Rades. We are glad you want to be a part of what we do here at Wikipedia, and you can. We want you to be one of us. Your new article needs work, my friend. I am hoping it will survive to get worked on. All new articles must show what we call notability. That is to say, in simpler terms, you must show that the world has noticed Mr. Rades. There is a special standard for musicians and it includes having cut a record that has been on the charts. I am thinking that probably isn't the case. Please don't let that discourage you. Even if this article is deleted, you can write another one on another subject or resubmit this one once your subject becomes notable. Biographical articles all have to have at least two reliable references. That would be some non trivial mention of the subject in newspapers, magazines or books. As I said, we are glad you are here and I hope you can save this article. I doubt that you will be able to, though. Please feel free to write me at any time on my talk page if I can assist you finding your way around the daunting world of Wikipedia. Gtwfan52 (talk) 20:02, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of David_Rades
Hello Tonyfigi,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged David_Rades for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, dci  &#124;  TALK   22:50, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of David Rades


The article David Rades has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article. &#32; The nominator also raised the following concern:
 * All biographies of living people created after March 18, 2010, must have references.

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 ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Stephen! Coming... 11:49, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

David Rades, ver 2.0
Hi Tony! Glad to see you tried again. Remember our earlier conversation? I don't know if calling him an activist instead of a musician will help, because what you need are reliable references. Blogs are not reliable references. I had no luck on a quick Google search for any other references. Meantime, it would help if you rewrite the history section so it doesn't sound so much like a list. I think you have enough so this article will survive a bit, but it is gonna get nominated for the deletion process, which it will not pass. You have enough so it won't get speedy deleted this time. There isn't something online about the music contest? Gtwfan52 (talk) 16:01, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
