User talk:Charakoo

Welcome!

Hello, Charakoo, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Melanie Spanswick, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Proposed deletion of Melanie Spanswick

The article Melanie Spanswick 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Melanie Spanswick

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Melanie Spanswick requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Notability of subjects

Thank you for your work on Melanie Spanswick. Not all topics are notable (suitable for a stand-alone Wikipedia article). The Melanie Spanswick article does not cite sources establishing notability, so it may get deleted. A source shows that the article topic is notable when it:

contains significant coverage: it addresses the topic directly and in multiple paragraphs of detail. A source with only trivial or off-topic mentions of the subject doesn't count.
is a reliable source: it has a reliable publication process, or a suitable expert author (look up the reliability of common sources, or discuss). Newspapers and books usually meet this criteria, company and personal websites usually do not.
is independent of the subject: it isn't produced by the article's subject or someone similarly affiliated with it. For example, these are not independent: the subject's press releases, autobiographies, website, and interviews.

If you can find notability-establishing sources, please add them: more than one is needed unless the applicable subject-specific notability guideline states otherwise. Specific questions can be answered live at the Teahouse help forum. Thank you. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:34, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Draftified

(Today's wikivocabulary word is draftified. A page moved to draft space is said to be draftified.)

I have moved this to Draft:Melanie Spanswick. If lessons are to be learned, perhaps it's good to work on the draft instead of just feeling bummed about abrupt deletion. Is the subject worthy of an article? Prove it to us in draft space. If you skip norms, many of us will notice. Here's your chance to do the right thing, and the subject as well.

I've also reverted your change of the Emily Daymond page. Unless you can find reliable secondary sources independent of Daymond or Spanswick discussing these views/involvements, such endorsements should stay out, especially on WP:Biographies of living people articles like Spanswick's draft. Not every living person wants an article about them on Wikipedia, trust me. If the page fails to get traffic, folks fail to update it and eventually it represents the subject poorly. If the page has poor sourcing and is unwatched, all kinds of vandalism is possible. If you are the only contributor on the page (and/or you are only contributing about Spanswick), that tells me something else. My own reasonable WP:BEFORE doesn't find sufficient ghits or gnews sources directly detailing the subject to meet WP:Notability. Better to have no article than a really bad one about a living subject, IMHO. But nobody should bother your draft so long as you keep working on it. BusterD (talk) 16:52, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
