Proposed deletion of Ann Bauer

The article Ann Bauer has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have 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. Minima© (talk) 18:32, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

Ways to improve David Cook (painter/sculptor)

Hello, Gateley,

Thank you for creating David Cook (painter/sculptor).

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

This article is about a living person. Hence, it has to follow notability guidelines given in WP:BASIC and WP:BIO

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Whiteguru}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

@Whiteguru: I do have a question: what is the threshold. I have 4 news sources and 2 "questionable" sources (Facebook). The questionable sources are from the facebook pages hosted by a business that had David Cook work with them, so even though they are "questionable", they are reliable as many businesses now communicate a lot on facebook. Is this sufficient? What more do I need? Thanks! Gateley (talk) 21:55, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

@Whiteguru: Also, just added some comments here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:David_Cook_(painter/sculptor) Thanks! Gateley (talk) 22:13, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

@Gateley: Firstly, thank you for your diligence here, and attention to the issues raised. Wikipedia has a policy on what is called User Generated Content which advises on the reliability of this source of material. As Wikipedia works on reliable sources, it is best to use those kinds of sources. I see your comments on the talk page about newspaper clippings. If these are clippings of his work, you might go to the Village Pump (technical) and ask for advice how you can use these as reliable sources. Go well! --Whiteguru (talk) 01:19, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
