Proposed deletion of Paul McNeilly

edit
 

The article Paul McNeilly 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.

Paul McNeilly moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Paul McNeilly, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template atop the page.

August 2017

Please note, it is unnecessary to write links in the manner [[Andy Hamilton|Andy]] [[Andy Hamilton|Hamilton]]. Just write it as [[Andy Hamilton]]. Thank you. Eagleash (talk) 14:59, 5 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Eagleash, I've seen people do something similar with towns. The town is linked, and then the state it is in is linked, but of course the town's article usually includes the state. I was going to put this on your talk page but it was easier to point out where I got the idea from. I'm wondering if your advice here applies to that situation.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 19:56, 9 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Vchimpanzee: That seems like a different thing. At the F1 project, we would write [[Team Lotus|Lotus]] and then [[Lotus 23|23]] which renders as Lotus 23 but provides links to two different pages. Multiple linking of each part of a persons name to their page does not seem necessary to me. There were other instances at the same article of multiple linkings of various other items. Town and state can be complicated as state (etc.) is often used as a disambiguation. E.g. Edmonton, London. Eagleash (talk) 20:11, 9 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
