Proposed deletion of Peter Cluskey

edit
 

The article Peter Cluskey has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Notability issues and unreferenced BLP

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

  Please stop. Continuing to remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia without resolving the problem that the template refers to may be considered vandalism. Further edits of this type may result in you being blocked from editing Wikipedia. 99.12.243.20 (talk) 15:11, 9 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

  This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you remove the maintenance templates from Wikipedia articles without resolving the problem that the template refers to, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. 99.12.243.20 (talk) 15:22, 9 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

(quick comment from uninvolved editor) Please try to find old newspaper articles to cite them into the article. You can use LexisNexis or a similar service to search for old articles that are not online. You can cite those newspaper articles even if they are not available on a website.
Also, please notice that the editor that placed the template thinks that the article is worth saving. If he had thought that the article had to be deleted then he would have sent the article to articles for deletion. Now, since he didn't do that, then that means that you only need to find sources and cite them properly in the article. References should include at least: article title, author name, newspaper name, and publication date. Note that sources that are not in the internet are also valid sources.
Also, the templates are only for maintenance of the articles, and they point out to editors the problems that need to be solved in the article. Notice that the template includes the article into invisible categories like Category:Articles_lacking_sources_from_January_2010, and sometimes editors will go over those categories to find articles to improve.
So, please, stop removing the templates until you have solved the problems pointed out by those templates. --Enric Naval (talk) 16:00, 9 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
