In addition to what was said above, I want to emphasis the importance of using reliable sources. Each of the links you included is to a source with is not reliable. The first appears to be a self-published site; the bottom of the page even notes that the information was primarily provided by the subject himself. The second is a link to a band site, which is definitely not a reliable source (other than to prove that they created a particular song). In order for this article to appear in WP, you need to provide sources that are independent of the subject (and his family) to establish that he is Notable. Feel free to post any questions you might have here or on the article's talk page. Qwyrxian (talk) 02:09, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

AfD Nomination: Black swan story

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but all Wikipedia articles must meet our criteria for inclusion (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Since it does not seem that Black swan story meets these criteria, an editor has started a discussion about whether this article should be kept or deleted.

Your opinion on whether this article meets the inclusion criteria is welcome. Please contribute to the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Black swan story. Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them.

Discussions such as these usually last seven days. In the meantime, you are free to edit the content of the article. Please do not remove the "articles for deletion" template (the box at the top). When the discussion has concluded, a neutral third party will consider all comments and decide whether or not to delete the article. Ranger Steve (talk) 21:37, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
