Dan/Danny McClellan

Thanks for your addition to Wikipedia! I'm pretty sure that your new article on Danny McClellan duplicates an existing article on (what I hope is) the same player under the name of Dan McClellan. The 1952 poll seems like a dead giveaway, let me know by dropping me a note on my Talk page if I've overstepped.

By the way, as a general rule, it's really important that, when you make new Wikipedia articles about people who are or may be still living, that you include references to where you got the information about the person. Even a bare URL or a name of a book and page number put between tags like <ref> and </ref> can greatly improve the chances that the article won't get accidentally deleted--a new Wikipedia policy makes sourcing of new biographical articles of living people a requirement for them to be kept on Wikipedia. Drop me a note if you have any questions, I'm always happy to lend a hand. Thanks again for your contributions to Wikipedia! --j⚛e decker^talk 01:25, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
