Deon St. Mor (and other pages)

edit

Hi, SmackBot doesn't generally add tags, merely dates them. However you ask about improving the article, and I can see you are getting some confusing feedback.

Firstly, notability. Adding the type of references you have found in newspapers will help establish notability, better still references to books (other than directories - though works such as "Who Owns Whom" might still be useful as references). See WP:Notability for extensive advice on this subject.

Secondly conflict of interest. WP:COI If you have any relationship with the person or company, you should mention that on the talk page. It does not altogether bar you from editing the articles, but the closer you are the more likely to cause a problem it is, and the more careful you need to be.

Thirdly sources. WP:RS The more reputable, available and enduring a source is the better. Hence newspapers of record (The Times, for example) are better than local papers, authoritative works are better than "popular" works which are better than self published works. The same applies to web sites, BBC is respected, some random blog is not. As to using the subjects own material as a source, it is often the only source - having their press-releases reprinted by the media doesn't really affect much where factual non-controversial claims are concerned. Try to ensure as much as possible is backed up by a source - ask yourself how you know it. Poor sources are better than no sources in my opinion (exception - things that are sourced from Wikipedia are worse than no source).

Fourthly style. There are a lot of un-needed capitals, after the first use use the surname only "St. Mor", find the correct categories (for example, probably "Australian businesspeople". Try to use prose where possible, avoid very short or very long sentences. Look at other biography pages for examples or WP:MOS for lots of guidelines.

Finally, please leave messages on my talk page, not the bot's as that stops the bot.

Nomination of MOR cosmetics for deletion

A discussion has begun about whether the article MOR cosmetics, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/MOR cosmetics until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.
