This page was proposed for deletion by CorporateM (talk · contribs) on 16 November 2014 with the comment:
No indication of notability and zero references makes the entire page unsourced original research, which BLP policies require be deleted promptly.

Why proposed for deletion?

This page has been proposed for deletion and I'm not sure why. I had two references linked to (and links to his official site and other work) when it says you only need one. Now they're gone, along with the entire article except for a few sentences. So all articles proposed for deletion are actually deleted first and then corrected?

@Davescribe22: Looking at the edit summaries, a lot of the article was removed for not being sourced. Other material was removed because it was not referenced at the cited sources, so that's why the article is down to what's left. —C.Fred (talk) 14:54, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Further, the deletion is not a "normal" proposed deletion; it's WP:BLPPROD. Any biography of a living person that lacks a reliable source is subject for deletion, and it may be tagged for prod/blp repeatedly. —C.Fred (talk) 14:56, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

But what's left isn't sourced either. Someone else added that he was born in 1965, but there's no citation for that. Nor is there proof that he's a writer or a blogger or American, for that matter. So I'm not sure about the consistency here.

Is there a way to get back all of the stuff that was deleted so I can tweak the page and add references, etc? (I did link to one source that wasn't his page and it's still up - I thought one reliable source is all that is needed??). Davescribe22 (talk) 15:00, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
