Welcome!

Hello, Many Things, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as John McGowan (Canadian punk singer), may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

Proposed deletion of John McGowan (Canadian punk singer)

The article John McGowan (Canadian punk singer) has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days 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/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Regarding the First Amendment

The First Amendment to the United States Constitution prevents the government from restricting free speech. It does not prevent a private entity (like Wikipedia) from regulating what content it chooses to display on its own website (Wikipedia has as much a right to self-determine a content as you have to your own free speech on your own server). Ponyo is a Canadian citizen so trying to force the American First Amendment on her makes about as much sense as a Saudi enforcing Sharia Law on you. Amendments to the Constitution of Canada have names instead of numbers (e.g. "Manitoba Act, 1870," not "First Amendment"). The oldest of these doesn't concern free speech. Section 2 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms concerns free speech. Ian.thomson (talk) 15:03, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
