[edit] British Film Designers Guild

How about some coverage in books, magazines, or newspapers? That's normally how articles are written here - from secondary sources, not from personal knowledge, which is apparently the case with you. Don't be surprized if someone attempts to delete it later on. - NYC JD (objection, asked and answered!) 13:01, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion

It's always best to write the article in your word processor first, and then copy and paste - its easier to edit, and avoids deletion by new page patrollers.

You need to make sure that your articles provide independent verifiable sources that the subject meets the notability guidelines, that is you need to list independent websites or other sources that enable readers to verify what you are saying - note the BFDG comment above. Hope this helps, I'll lay off for now, Jimfbleak 15:22, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Maurice Carter is an example - he is clearly notable, assuming the content is true, but you have not provided any links or sources for what you are saying. Whilst I don't doubt your integrity, you would be surprises how many convincing hoax articles are posted, so it's a necessary chore. Jimfbleak
Andreas Kneller is another new article, by a more experienced editor - have a look for guidance on style for writing biographies. Jimfbleak 15:28, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
