Proposed deletion of Claudia Vargas
Hello, Vancedekker. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Claudia Vargas, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Claudia Vargas to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.

Thanks, Vanjagenije (talk) 16:37, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for message. It's not quite as simple as that. I'm not prepared to restore as it stands, but I can sandbox the deleted text to work on if that helps. Let me know  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  17:43, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
 * She might be notable, but you need independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts. the article as it stands is mainly sourced to her own sites. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, or they will be deleted.
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of claims presented as fact but actually either opinions or lacking independent sources include: known for her innovative techniques... drawings have informed her aesthetic... Across her career her work has explored static social structures, remnants of colonial oppression in Latin American society, human capacity for wartime atrocity and simultaneous innocence, consumer culture and ecology, and most recently the constructive energy of youth and play.
 * Why not refs to the the articles which discuss her work. Just saying Her work has been written about in...  means nothing


 * I'll shortly post the text here  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  06:07, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
