Welcome!

Hello, Benitofroman, 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, like Ben van Bergen, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have!

Proposed deletion of Ben van Bergen[edit]

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Ben van Bergen, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

No assertion of notability, and no evidence that he meets notability guidelines per [[[WP:ENTERTAINER]]

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Re: your request[edit]

Sorry if you have been having difficulty understanding the encyclopedia guidelines. I'll restore the Ben van Bergen rticle to allow you another week to provide proper references which might establish Van Bergen's notability. However, at the moment, it doesn't make it. The references you provided in the article were absolutely checked -- by the editor who put the article up for deletion on May 28, by another editor who endorsed the deletion on June 3, and by myself on June 4. None of them indicate Van Bergen meets WP guidelines for a biography. Note that a home webpage is self-published and is not reliable. IMDb is also not considered a reliable source and it is only used for information about participation in a production. Van Bergen is one of hundreds of thousands of actors who have IMDb pages -- the page itself is meaningless -- and a review of his roles shows nothing significant. As well, the variety article merely makes one mention of his name (among many) as a losing candidate for one of the many vice-presidential seats with SAG. (A president of SAG is notable, the others positions are not). Please read WP:BIO. If you can improve the article, than great -- otherwise it will be submitted for discussion at Articles for Deletion. If you have further questions, feel free to ask. — CactusWriter | ^needles 08:14, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
