Welcome!

Hello, Matthew Beale, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits to the page Kirsten Orsborn did not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may have been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Proposed deletion of Kirsten Orsborn

The article Kirsten Orsborn has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days 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/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. — JJMC89 (T·C) 06:48, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of my contribution

Why would you propose deletion of a page that is still being created? Matthew Beale (talk) 07:01, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Pages should not be created from scratch in the mainspace. They should usually be created in your sandbox, where they can be worked on in userspace and improved without anyone seeing them. But once articles enter the mainspace, the article can become searchable through google, and Wikipedia's standards for article quality come into play. The article you created had no sources whatsoever, and thus a BLP PROD was placed on it. What that means, is that if in 7 days there are still no sources on it, it will be deleted. You can avoid having that happen by simply adding some reliable sources before then. If you have any other questions, let me know. Captain Eek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 07:10, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
