Question
editWelcome. I see that your first edit here was at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard, which is a fairly unusual place for a new editor to begin. Is this your first account? If not, please review Wikipedia:Sock puppetry which states "The general rule is one editor, one account." Cusop Dingle (talk) 17:48, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
Your new article has no sources and this is particularly important for biographies of living people. It also fails to explain why this person is notable, that is, why Wikipedia should have an article about him at all. Please add citations to reliable sources or the article will almost certainly be deleted sooner rather than later. Cusop Dingle (talk) 17:52, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
Additional: if you have any connection with this person, please also review the Wikipedia:Conflict of interest guidelines. Cusop Dingle (talk) 17:54, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
The article Andrew Kenyon-Smith has been proposed for deletion because, 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.
