The article James Southwell has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no reliable 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/dated}} 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. Cahk (talk) 07:18, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

[edit]Hello. You recently removed a Biographies of Living Persons PROD, from James Southwell, and I wanted to let you know that it has been replaced. Please don't remove these Biographies of Living Persons PRODs from articles unless they contain at least one reliable source or were created before 18 March 2010. If you oppose the deletion of an article under this process, please consider adding reliable sources to the article or commenting at the respective talk page. Thank you.

[edit]Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Stevie Wright. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Binksternet (talk) 15:13, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- Wikipedia should be built upon a solid foundation of WP:SECONDARY sources. Every article should ideally be a summary of all the published material about the topic. What you are doing is not allowed: adding facts you know to be true, but which have not been collected in a published source. Wikipedia should never be the first platform of publication.
