The article Carl Huneke has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
this article has really no independent sources. It is primarily sourced to a memoir written by the subject's daughter, hence failing both WP:NARTIST and WP:ANYBIO
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. 174.254.199.133 (talk) 00:01, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Please help me with... I need some guidance about references. Could someone take a look at my page and give me some advice? I've read the instructions, but am still a little confused. How many do I need?
I have copies of very old articles that aren't available online. I scanned the articles and uploaded the images to Wiki Commons. The instructions said to add them to my userpage, but I wasn't sure how. Currently, I have the Wiki Common links as part of the reference on the page. Is that OK, too?
I have a book reference that is published by a family business that published other family members' work. The book has an ISBN number and is listed on Amazon (It's out of print). I'm not currently using this as a reference, but is it definitely unusable?

- We accept offline references, provided enough information is given so that the source can be looked up in a library or archive. Scanning book pages and uploading them to Commons for use as sources won't work. For books, the usual cite template used is {{cite book}} and we need, at minimum, the author name (first and last), book title, publisher, year of publication, page(s) being cited, and either the ISBN or WorldCat number. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Takes a strong man to deny... 03:44, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
