The article Dylan Buckley 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 ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. -- Patchy1 03:59, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

- Hi there. I have re-written the article, as you can't just copy and paste from other websites. WP:COPYVIO is a serious issue and we have to make sure that we rewrite things in our own words all the time. As you have found out, citing references is important too, especially for biographies of living people. As a general rule, it is best not to make articles on players who are yet to play in the AFL premiership season, unless there is plenty of significant coverage of them - ie not just a mention in a match report, or in a "who your club drafted" list. I hope the Buckley ariticle survives through the AFD process, but most other sports are stricter on not have articles on young players before they actually make their debut. If you have any questions, please reply here, or on my talk page. So, on behalf of WP:AFL, welcome, thank you for your contribution, and I hope you stick around to help the world know a bit more about Aussie rules!
