Proposed deletion of Peter Cowan (Journalist)


The article Peter Cowan (Journalist) has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created 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. &#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. Chris857 (talk) 19:21, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Note
While your desire to contribute is appreciated, Wikipedia articles are to be neutral in tone. They are not there to promote someone's "boyishly good looks" or fan base, but to provide a neutral and full biography and synopsis. Unfortunately, this article was entirely promotional in tone, which we do not allow, so it did have to be deleted. Also, all information in articles should be verified by reliable sources rather than based in personal knowledge. If you do know of the existence of such substantial source coverage on this person, please let me know and I'd be happy to help you evaluate if an article is possible there. I'd generally discourage writing on someone that one knows closely yourself, it's very difficult to remain neutral in a case like that. Seraphimblade Talk to me 01:55, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
