Hi! It seems you recently created an unreferenced biography of a living person: Serhii Bondarchuk. The community has decided that all new biographies of living persons must contain a reliable source that supports at least one statement made about the person in the article as per our verifiability policy. Please add references as soon as possible. Thanks! --LaraBot (talk) 00:11, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

editHi, thanks for message. I deleted your article because
- it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. (organizations and companies) (music) (people) It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, or they will be deleted. Normally ten days grace is given to add references (which don't have to be in English, although that's preferred. However, I speedy deleted because
- it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: he actively participated in the Orange Revolution... high-profile state position... he distinguished himself... his dedication... dedicated to efficient, responsive government... He represents a new generation of Ukrainian leaders who are committed to good governance, European values and national development... prestigious... — it's a campaign leaflet, not an encyclopaedia article.
