Hi! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but an article which you created - William Seaward - has been nominated for deletion. This is standard practice when someone believes that the article may not really fit with Wikipedia's aims. However, while it has been nominated, you're welcome to argue to keep the article at the discussion. At this stage I'd suggest trying to add some more references to show notability - performances in bouncy castles seem to be unusual enough so that not everyone believes that they're real. (Although, speaking for myself here, I think the concept sounds inherently cool). While you have a couple of good references, it would help you you added a couple more good ones, such as interviews in reliable sources (newspapers are particularly good in this regard) with William Seaward, or articles about him or his work. The aim is to show that enough has been written about him so that it is clear that he warrants an article, and that there is sufficient information to build up an article.

Other than that, if you need any help at all, just ask. :) - Bilby (talk) 06:20, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article William Seaward is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/William Seaward (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. SamuelTheGhost (talk) 23:02, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
