Proposed deletion of Cory Johnson (indoor football)

Hello, Coryjcps. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Cory Johnson (indoor football), for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Cory Johnson (indoor football) to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.

Thanks, Rushbugled13 (talk) 20:54, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the question. Because of Wikipedia guidelines, any article about a living person, BLP, must have at least one source to remain as an article in Wikipedia. To properly source references I would recommend reading WP:REFB. If you have any further questions, feel free to talk to me again. Rushbugled13 (talk) 21:22, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

At first when reading your comment I missed the part where you said you included a personal reference. Because this reference can not be verified, it can not be used as a source for a Wikipedia article. For more information see Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Verifiability. If you have any further questions, feel free to talk to me again. Rushbugled13 (talk) 21:41, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Cory Johnson (indoor football)

The article Cory Johnson (indoor football) has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created 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}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

November 2012

Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Cory Johnson (indoor football). Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.
