The article George Finn 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.
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 seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Speedy deletion nomination of George Finn
editIf this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on George Finn requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://agreenstorythemovie.com/cast.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

George Finn isn't a well known person so this article gives more information about him, how can i change it so the article is more suitable?.

- The references do not show evidence of significant, independent coverage as required by Wikipedia's notability guideline. All of your references are to the actor's bio posted on various websites of films he has appeared in (no doubt written by him or his publicist, so not independent) or of his filmography at famousfix.com (not significant). His roles in LOL and Time Lapse should have garnered some coverage, but they don't appear to have (I couldn't find any articles expressly about him). If you can provide links to press coverage he has received, that would be really helpful. Unfortunately, your last sentence above is telling: "George Finn isn't a well known person so this article gives more information about him..." If there's not enough information around about him to build the article legitimately, than perhaps it's not yet time to write the article. He seems like an actor who may have a future, and if that materializes, an article can be created about him when the sources become available. You are, of course, free to express your disagreement with the deletion proposal at WP:Articles for deletion/George Finn (2nd nomination). WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:13, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
