Proposed deletion of Sevim Çelebi-Gottschlich[edit]

The article Sevim Çelebi-Gottschlich 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.

Travelers to the Ottoman Empire moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Travelers to the Ottoman Empire, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Good morning,

This was a student project at Boston College (I'm a librarian there). Can I ask about getting information on what the class needs to go to improve the material? The professor would like to have classes do editing again in the future.

Kind regards,
