User talk:Matthew Beale

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]

I have moved the article into the WP:DRAFT space so that it can be edited at a more leisurely pace, and you can get feedback on the article creation process. Captain Eek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 07:53, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Kirsten Orsborn (October 6)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by MurielMary were:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This article has no sources - it needs at least 2 or 3 reliable sources for the claims being made. Also please read the notability criteria for an entertainer to have a biography on Wikipedia as it seems that Orsborn does not yet meet those criteria.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Kirsten Orsborn and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Kirsten Orsborn, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
