This was created by UPE sockfarm. We need an another review of this. Coverage is local, seems to fail WP:SIGCOV. US-Verified (talk) 11:09, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

- Hi there, a friend of mine advised me to look at Wikipedia to see that this page says it is to be deleted. My name is Nick Newbould and this page actually shares information about me personally. I do not know who created this information, but I can confirm the information on this page is quite accurate. I am not a tech savvy individual so I am unsure of what I would need to do to make sure this page is not deleted. I know of many people who have used this resource to gain information about me. I am a well-known theatre/TV actor from the UK and currently reside in Los Angeles where I am working on a sitcom. I can also confirm that coverage of me has not come from just local press sources, that are close to my residence, but do include national press coverage in the UK. Is there anything I can help you with, or anything I can do in order to make sure this page remains? Like I said previously I am not really technically minded so I would need some help (step by step) from someone who really knows how to navigate the Wikipedia/technical world, I am ashamed to admit that this is really not my strength. Thank you so much for your help in advance, I really do appreciate it, hope you are all keeping well out there! Yours truly, Nick Newbould. 75.12.18.22 (talk) 20:57, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
- Also what is UPE sockfarm mean ? Thank you again 75.12.18.22 (talk) 21:00, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
- UPE stands for undisclosed paid editing; anyone who is being paid to edit here must declare it. Sock is short for sock-puppet, and refers to someone who has set up multiple puppet accounts all operated by the same person but with different usernames. So a UPE sock-farm accuses someone of paying to have this article created by a covert agency. If you are indeed Nick Newbould, please bear in mind that having an article about you is not necessarily a good thing as you cannot edit it, you cannot control it, nor can anyone you pay control it, and if negative publicity appears, it can appear here. If you want to strengthen the article, you can go to the article's talk page, and request edits (see WP:COI for details of what you can and can't do!). The most helpful thing you could do is provide information about the national press coverage of you in the UK. Elemimele (talk) 18:55, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
- But I haven't paid anyone to do anything.. So I am confused, all the information is pretty correct (where ever they found that) And if you google me you can see all my press coverage, IMDB credits etc etc. I literally have no idea what any of this means.... Again, please forgive me. I am not at all computer literate... Any thing any one can do would be very much appreciated.... Thank you so much.. 75.12.18.22 (talk) 23:46, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

- Delete. The article relies exclusively on trivial mentions and routine coverage like role announcements as sources. Found no other adequate source for the subject, does not seem to pass WP:BIO. Tutwakhamoe (talk) 04:03, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
