Hello, RockHarper. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Leslie Gilliams (Actor and Stay-at-home Dad), for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Leslie Gilliams (Actor and Stay-at-home Dad) to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.
If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.
Thanks, Daniel322111 (talk) 07:06, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
The article Leslie Gilliams (Actor and Stay-at-home Dad) 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Cory Cotton[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 Cory Cotton 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 person or group of people, but it 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 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. Citobun (talk) 04:01, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of Leslie Gilliams (Actor and Stay-at-home Dad)[edit]
The article Leslie Gilliams (Actor and Stay-at-home Dad) has been proposed for deletion. The proposed deletion notice added to the article should explain why.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. reddogsix (talk) 04:03, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
December 2015[edit]
Do not remove Biographies of Living Persons PRODs from articles, as you did with Cory Cotton, unless reliable sources have been provided. You are, however, welcome to comment about the proposed deletion on the respective talk page instead. Thank you. reddogsix (talk) 04:04, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Coby Cotton, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.famousbirthdays.com/people/coby-cotton.html.
It is possible that the bot was mistaken and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.
If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to remove speedy deletion notices from pages you created yourself, as you did at Cory Cotton, you may be blocked from editing. Citobun (talk) 04:09, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Coby Cotton[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 Coby Cotton, 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 appears to be a clear copyright infringement. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.
- 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 "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.

Your contributed article, Leslie Gilliams (actor)[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.
Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Leslie Gilliams (actor). First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Leslie Gilliams. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Leslie Gilliams – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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 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. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. reddogsix (talk) 04:17, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

Your addition to MasterChef Australia (series 6) has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license.

March 2017[edit]
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at MasterChef Junior (U.S. season 5). Do not A) split existing groups, B) remove nicknames established in the show, and C) excessively fluff details see WP:TVPLOT. SanAnMan (talk) 19:40, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
- Edit -- Also just discovered your fluff is a direct WP:COPYVIO of this link here, this is blatantly against policy. - SanAnMan (talk) 20:06, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Ad Orientem (talk) 00:32, 5 March 2017 (UTC) You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at MasterChef Junior (U.S. season 5). So this time, on your edits, you decided to 1) AGAIN break the table groupings and make it so that people eliminated at the same time finish in separate places which is completely against our MOS and previous elimination tables, 2) reverse the alphabetization of eliminated contestants, 3) change an established "Top 14" to "Top 16" (which, admittedly, you changed back eventually), 4) AGAIN remove the well-established nickname of Syd from Sydney (she even has the name Syd on her apron for crying out loud).
For pete's sake, please just stop. Stop editing this article. Your edits are pure and unadulterated vandalism and are not welcomed here. SanAnMan (talk) 18:53, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Ad Orientem (talk) 19:00, 10 March 2017 (UTC)- Note: This is not going to end well. I suggest you desist in your disruptive editing or your next block is going to be a long one, if not indefinite. -Ad Orientem (talk) 19:01, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at MasterChef Junior (U.S. season 5), you may be blocked from editing without further notice. you just don't give up SanAnMan (talk) 22:33, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
