Proposed deletion of Philipp prosenik edit

 

The article Philipp prosenik has been proposed for deletion because, 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.

Aliu Djalo edit

Hello Matthewcressey1,

It seems to me that an article you worked on, Aliu Djalo, may be copied from http://thechels.info/wiki/Kaby. It's entirely possible that I made a mistake, but I wanted to let you know because Wikipedia is strict about copying from other sites.

It's important that you edit the article and rewrite it in your own words, unless you're absolutely certain nothing in it is copied. If you're not sure how to fix the problem or have any questions, there are people at the help desk who are happy to assist you.

Thank you for helping build a free encyclopedia! CorenSearchBot (talk) 13:17, 31 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Your recent edits edit

Hi there, you seem to have been creating a lot of unreferenced articles about non-notable young footballers recently. Please can you have a quick read of our notability policy - specifically the ones which apply to footballers, such as WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. We also need ALL articles about living people to have reliable sources so that we can verify information - this is especially important. If you have any questions/conerns, please feel free to ask.

Your article creations edit

Please stop creating articles that do not meet Wikipedia's inclusion criteria. In order to have an article a subject must be considered notable. For footballers this means either they have received significant coverage in reliable sources or they have played in a fully professional league. These two criteria correspond to the general notability guideline, and the football specific notability guideline. You've been warned about this before, so I should add that continuing to create articles that don't meet these criteria, especially ones that have been previously deleted, is considered disruptive, and may lead to a block or ban. If you have any questions feel free to post them on my talk page. Best regards. Sir Sputnik (talk) 23:11, 31 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
