Proposed deletion of Dennis Ganendra

edit
 

The article Dennis Ganendra has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No indication of how this might meet notability guidelines. Lacks citations to significant coverage in reliable sources.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. RadioFan (talk) 18:12, 16 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Dennis Ganendra moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Dennis Ganendra, 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 click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Blocked

As noted, you appear to be removing maintenance templates without addressing the root problem. In this case, you're actually making it worse - adding more resume-like junk and using a mirror as a source. I've disabled this account for 72 hours. Repeated disruptive editing will lead to longer blocks. Kuru (talk) 13:59, 14 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
