Proposed deletion of Craig Sheppard[edit]

The article Craig Sheppard has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this 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.

Craig Sheppard article[edit]

The Craig Sheppard article still has significant problems, mostly a need for additional cited sources to establish the subject's notability clearly. I would suggest that it be moved into the draft namespace, where most of the rules that could lead to deletion of the page would not apply, and where it could be worked on until it is ready to be moved back and be a live article. Would you be OK with this? note that drafts are not indexed by Google or other major search engines. DES ^(talk) 16:23, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My contact at Carnegie Mellon has said that he would be able to address these issues today. Can we leave it online for another day at least? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:602:8100:5FC1:98A8:3E4D:D8F6:D7E8 (talk) 16:32, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. No rush on my part, and I don't plan to nominate the article for deletion. But some other editor always might. Not that draftspace is "offline"; it is just in a more sheltered portion of the wiki. See Wikipedia:Drafts for more information. I will be interested to see the edits.

I think you'll see quite a lot of changes/additions (citations, in particular), once he's had a chance to work on it. Again, my appreciation for what you've done so far. As you can see, formatting language is not one of my fortes!2601:602:8100:5FC1:98A8:3E4D:D8F6:D7E8 (talk) 16:46, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Good. I and other editors here can and will handle the formatting if the information is there. What you can do best is provide the sources and citations, and secondly, to provide the text. I prefer to help develop sound articles, not to delete good-faith efforts. But I will delete when needed -- my count of pages deleted is nearing 2,000. DES ^(talk) 18:20, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
