Proposed deletion of Bashir Copti

The article Bashir Copti 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.

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 request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. →Bmusician 12:16, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Please do not remove Biographies of Living Persons prods from an article unless it contains at least one reliable source or was created before 18 March 2010. If you oppose the deletion of an article under this process, please consider sourcing the article or commenting at the respective talk page. Thank you. Total-MAdMaN (talk) 15:44, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Bashir Copti, makes articles harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Re: Article Bashir Copti

Re your message: I believe that you intended to leave your message for Total-MAdMaN, but I can address some of them for you. I removed the wikify tag as the article has been formatted enough that I think that is no longer an issue. I also did a lot of copyeditting, but a little more work needs to be done. Besides those two issues, I cleaned up a lot of other things. I removed all of the unsourced opinions regarding the themes of his writing and the reviews of his published works. Per Wikipedia's policy of biographies of living people, you will need to provide sources that substantiate the claims on his views and themes of his published works. You also need to provide additional sources for his biography, particularly his family. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 19:53, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
