Welcome!

Hello, AlanD1956, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Michelle Edwards (athlete), may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Proposed deletion of Michelle Edwards (athlete)[edit]

The article Michelle Edwards (athlete) has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. 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 ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Tyrol5 [Talk] 13:12, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I do not agree that Michelle Edwards (athlete) should be deleted, because it is referenced to the existing page of results for the 1991 IAAF Championships. My purpose in creating the page was that hitherto, the reference to Michelle Edwards in the 1991 IAAF Championships results had been linked to the biography of a badminton player of the same name. I have now added additional information, referenced to http://www.gbrathletics.com/uk/wd99.htm, which I hope is a sufficiently reliable source. AlanD1956 (talk) 19:10, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for September 25[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bill Brand (TV series), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Geoffrey Palmer and Rangers (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

At present the British runner David Holt / Dave Holt does not have his own page. But the page giving the Olympic 10000m results used to link to the page for an American baseball player of the same name: I have corrected this. AlanD1956 (talk) 11:54, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Blood Orange (2016 film) (December 3)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by KylieTastic was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of films). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Requires significant coverage in independent reliable sources to show notability - Note IMDB is not a reliable source

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Blood Orange (2016 film) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Blood Orange (2016 film), click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
