Vernon François moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Vernon François, does not have enough sources and citations 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 follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template atop the page.

Request reason:

Hi Alex, The page I've been trying to make is legitimate, not promotional and has multiple references. I'd ask that you compare it with the page for the hairdresser Nicky Clarke whose only references are the Daily Mail and the Daily Star. The Vernon François page is very similar in regards to clientele and having appeared on TV as referenced. Can you enlighten me at all? I also found a pre-existing mention of him on another wikipedia article which I linked back. Article here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britain_%26_Ireland%27s_Next_Top_Model_(cycle_8).Thanks.

Decline reason:

If you honestly think that blatant marketing speak like "François works with children, young people and parents to encourage positive attitudes to and perceptions of textured hair" is not promotional, or that it is even remotely suitable for an encyclopedia (click that link if you don't know what one of those is), you have no place here.
