Welcome to Wikipedia. Your recent edit to Hugh Grant has been reverted because, among other reasons, it was not substantiated by a reliable source. In articles about actors, it is impractical to mention projects that were rumored at some point but never materialized, especially in entries as long as Hugh Grant's. Thanks.

Proposed deletion of Ben Trebilcook

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Ben Trebilcook, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. 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.

Response

On the contrary, there are many reasons, not the least being his--or, more likely, your--inability to reach the threshold required for a biographical article on Wikipedia. In addition, there's the obvious conflict of interest in writing about yourself--given you put this biography on your user page, it's clearly yourself that is the subject--and your lack of actual citations, as opposed to the random names dropped hither and yon. To quote from the page linked just above, with emphasis added:

A citation is a line of text that uniquely identifies a source. For example, this is a citation:

• Ritter, R. (2002). The Oxford Style Manual. Oxford University Press. ISBN 0-19-860564-1.

It allows a reader to find the source and verify that it supports material in Wikipedia. Citations are required for quotes, most images, information about living persons and anything that is likely to be challenged.

Simply saying 'City of London Police' and 'Trebilcock Cornwall' are extraordinarily wide of the mark.

Finally, your rather strange accusation, based on...well, I'm not sure what exactly, probably falls under rules regarding either personal attacks, assumptions of bad faith, or possibly both, so I'd not continue that tack if I were you. --CalendarWatcher (talk) 14:36, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Given that your sole contributions to Wikipedia have been the promotion of this obscure screenwriter and nothing else, I'd suggest my assumption is well-earned, Further, your insertion of 'facts' about Trebilcock in other articles which are not only unsourced but highly unlikely to be even known in the first place unless through personal knowledge--while at the same time disingenuously asking if I, somehow, know Trebilcock personally--is merely the final nail in the coffin on your imaginative claim of being some random journalist. And once you find yourself in a hole, it's best to stop digging, so no more attempts to flog that tale, please. --CalendarWatcher (talk) 15:01, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

And ringing you up will prove what, precisely? I've no interest and, as I've said, now would be a good time to drop the shovel. --CalendarWatcher (talk) 15:14, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Ben Trebilcook

I have nominated Ben Trebilcook, an article you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ben Trebilcook. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
