Nomination of Jamie Peterson for deletion

[edit]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Jamie Peterson is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jamie Peterson until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article.

Sandbox

[edit]

I suggest that you try to develop the article in a sandbox. As you say, it takes time to learn how do things in Wikipedia. To make it easier, I have created a sandbox page for you. User:TinyWing/Sandbox1. The purpose of a "sandbox" is that it is a place you can try out edits in. It can be very useful for experimenting. It can also be useful when trying to build up ideas - for example if you are trying to write a paragraph using lots of different sources, and want to get it right before you post the paragraph in the main article. You do not have to use it; but I thought that it might be helpful to you.--Toddy1 (talk) 21:23, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Toddy1 for the Sandbox. I will work on it in the coming weeks. I hope to have significant work done by the end of Feb. There is a lot to do as this is a big story and should not be excluded from Wikipedia. I understand the nomination for deletion and want to do everything perfectly because I do feel that it is appropriate for Wikipedia and all these things can be addressed. There are more citations coming soon. I have access to the entire trial transcript, which I understand will be posted online soon. That will be the best reference. Also, there are current discussions in the local papers. I feel like I have to know HTML or some code to post properly on Wikipedeia!108.94.58.6 (talk) 19:32, 2 February 2013 (UTC)TinyWing[reply]
Please could you read WP:RS.--Toddy1 (talk) 22:03, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have reviewed the guidelines for determining if a source is appropriate for Wikipedia and the newspaper articles are acceptable. More importantly, the entire trial transcript, which are a legal documentation word-for-word of the trail under oath is also a great source. They are being posted soon and when they are, I will cite those. TinyWing (talk) 16:18, 5 February 2013 (UTC)TinyWing[reply]

The trial transcript is a primary source. Please read WP:PRIMARY.--Toddy1 (talk) 22:04, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]


When can the article be resubmitted

[edit]

You asked when the article can be re-submitted. I suggest that you develop the article in the sandbox first.

When you feel that you have developed it as much as you can, get an experienced editor to review it for you.

The deletion discussion will be helpful here, because it explains why the article was deleted. An experienced editor should be able to tell you whether your improvements have met the objections to the article mentioned in the deletion discussion.--Toddy1 (talk) 22:04, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
