Proposed deletion of Brian Kessler

edit
 

The article Brian Kessler has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this 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.

Thank you for your recent contributions. Getting started creating new articles on Wikipedia can be tricky, and you might like to try creating a draft version first, which you can then ask for feedback on if necessary, with less risk of deletion. Do make sure you also read help available to you, including Your First Article and the Tutorial. You might also like to try the Article Wizard, which has an option to create a draft version. Thank you. Pishcal 21:34, 22 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

− I see that you have added a reference to Brian Kessler article but I don't see authoritative mention of Brian Kessler there. Can you clarify please? The references used should clearly demonstrate that Mr Kessler is notable and not simply that his name is mentioned on a web-site. Regards  Velella  Velella Talk   21:37, 22 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

I would like to second this concern. It appears just to be a reference to Kessler's tweet about the California section of the newspaper returning to the LA Times.[1] These sorts of references do not qualify Kessler for a Wikipedia article. I fear that you will end up wasting a lot of time improving the article, only to have it deleted, if this is the best sort of reference that exists.

  Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of the templates at Brian Kessler does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Calliopejen1 (talk) 00:41, 23 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
If you think the tags are ready to be removed, please get a second opinion at the Teahouse before removing them. Thanks, Calliopejen1 (talk) 00:42, 23 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
