Proposed deletion of Terence Coyle[edit]

The article Terence Coyle has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted 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}} 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 Terence Coyle[edit]

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 Terence Coyle, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for 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 "Click here to 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 removed 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. The request was not specific enough. You may consider leaving your comments on the Talk page or escalating significant issues to the conflict of interest noticeboard.

Would you kindly inform of any reasons why my submission has not been published. I would be happy to comply.

Draft[edit]

Hi, I've moved your draft here since the main user page should not be used for drafts. I deleted your article because

it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that he meets the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, or they will be deleted. Your references were either spamlinks to commercial sites like Amazon, search results, Wikipedia, or too vague to confirm the claimed facts, eg "National Academy of Design". Put your references in the the text following the fact each supports using <ref>[url description]</ref>. Then the {{reflist}} I've added at the end will automatically generate a numbered list. He may or may not be notable, but we need independent third-party references as described in the link above, not links to his own pages — and the refs must mention him.
I can't see an obvious claim of notability in your text. He's an instructor who has written some books; that doesn't make him notable in our terms, although you may be able to show how he meets the criteria if you can verify he is held by major museums and non-commercial galleries
it was written in a somewhat promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. An example of an unsourced claims presented as fact is: prominent.

I've edited your draft to remove inappropriate or unacceptable refs and added a few links. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:09, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
