I've added a reference in the article. - ZombieLeChuck (talk) 07:51, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Vincent Vangeel

The article Vincent Vangeel 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.

Vincent Vangeel moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Vincent Vangeel, is not suitable 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 click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

In answer to your queries - social media websites, such as Facebook, are not considered acceptable or reliable independent secondary sources. Similarly, organizations where an individual is employed are primary sources, and as such are not considered to be independent or reliable either. The newspaper article which refers to the podcast is acceptable but doesn't establish notability. I hope that helps - happy editing. Dan arndt (talk) 07:17, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just because other articles have unsourced birth dates doesn't mean that it is acceptable or in accordance with Wikipedia guidelines. The reason we don't use social media as a source is because anyone can post information there without any verification. Wouldn't be the first time someone has lied about their birth date. Dan arndt (talk) 07:53, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The inference is that a professional journalist would check/verify the information, and that would be checked by an editor, before it would be allowed to be published, whereas there are none of those checks and balances on social media. Dan arndt (talk) 09:30, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Vincent Vangeel (May 23)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Fade258 was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Need reliable and independent references to the subject.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Vincent Vangeel and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
