Welcome!

Hello, JV Sterling, 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 Rita Genet, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

Articles for deletion nomination of Rita Genet[edit]

I have nominated Rita Genet, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rita Genet. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Drmies (talk) 20:22, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

JV Sterling, please stop emailing me privately--the matters you address are not private. I have nominated the article for deletion because I do not believe it meets the requirements as set out in WP:Notability: it doesn't have a single reliable source, for instance. I said it might be a recreation because it was on my watchlist and I've never made a single edit to it, which could mean that I had worked on a previous version of it which subsequently got deleted. You claim WP is the place for accurate information: yes it is, but such information needs to be verifiable, and none of the information in the article is. Please see WP:V: it's one of our core policies. That no sources are available because the subject was born before the internet was invented simply does not stand up--lots of things, including Beowulf and Napoleon Bonaparte precede the internet. Also, references do not have to be online. Please see our policy on reliable sources. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 14:22, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
