Hi C. Fred. How do you flag an entry for removal on the grounds that it is about a junior prof with no accomplishments worth mentioning and was clearly created by himself for self-promotion?--BlueonGray (talk) 23:23, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Make sure all those allegations hold water, then you'll want to follow the instructions at WP:Proposed deletion or WP:Articles for deletion.

You could also tag the page for speedy deletion. However, I'm looking at the page right now, and if it meets those criteria, I'll delete it. If it doesn't as an administrator, I'd decline the deletion, and you'd have to go one of the other two routes anyway. —C.Fred (talk) 23:29, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree that the page was created by the subject to self-promote. However, I do agree that the article had no clear assertion of significance or importance, so it was deleted under speedy deletion criterion A7. Had you wanted to tag the article—or if you need to tag a similar article in the future—the tag is {{db-bio}}. —C.Fred (talk) 23:34, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Fred. This is good to know. I appreciate the tips.--BlueonGray (talk) 23:53, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Taylor Carman

The article Taylor Carman has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one reliable source that directly supports material in the article. The nominator also raised the following concern:

All biographies of living people created after March 18, 2010, must have references.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. 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.

Actually, probably not. That's a documentary about the person, but it isn't a reliable source for a biography of a living person. The Mark of the Beast (talk) 05:07, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
