 * Hi, I deleted your recent article because it did not provide independent verifiable sources that it meets the notability guidelines. Jimfbleak (talk) 14:54, 7 April 2008 (UTC)


 * There is nothing to stop you recreating the page with suitable references. Remember though that article must be neutral and encyclopaedic. For that reason, autobiographical articles are discouraged, since it's difficult to be objective, as the tone of your response to me suggests. I'm sorry you feel that my actions are purely negative, especially as I've written half-a-dozen featured articles Jimfbleak (talk) 05:50, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
