Proposed deletion of Garrett backstrom

The article Garrett backstrom 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. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 19:04, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just a note - you are not allowed to remove a BLP PROD tag unless you add a proper reference to prove that the person exists. Once you do that then the tag can be removed. And IMDb is not a reliable source. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 23:01, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

July 2013

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Garrett backstrom has been reverted.
Your edit here to Garrett backstrom was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://twitter.com/GBackstrom) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Garrett backstrom

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Garrett backstrom, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Geraldo Perez (talk) 15:25, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is also a duplicate of the article at Garrett Backstrom currently tagged for deletion as it has no reliable source references. We don't need two articles on the same person. Geraldo Perez (talk) 15:34, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Do not remove Biographies of Living Persons PRODs from articles, unless reliable sources have been provided, as you did with Garrett Backstrom. You are, however, welcome to comment about the proposed deletion on the respective talk page instead. Thank you. IMDb, Wikias and Wikipedia itself are all unusable references as none are reliable sources. BLP PROD stays in article until at least ONE reliable source such as a major news article are added to article Geraldo Perez (talk) 15:50, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Do a google search for Garrett Backstrom (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL). Look for something from a newspaper or a major website such as Variety, Hollywood reporter etc, that gives something about this person. Add that as a reference to the article. Don't use wikis, fansites, IMDb. Geraldo Perez (talk) 15:58, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living persons, as you did to Garrett Backstrom. Thank you. All personal info about a living person must come from reliable sources - see WP:BLP and WP:BLPPRIVACY. Stop using wikia for this as wikia is not a reliable source for anything Geraldo Perez (talk) 19:03, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

IMDb is not a reliable source for bio info - see WP:RS/IMDB for why. Find a news article or something. Geraldo Perez (talk) 19:19, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Garrett Backstrom. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. As before, more serious warning Geraldo Perez (talk) 19:22, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
