Template:Flag-article
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] What it looks like
In my opinion, this article either lacks sufficient Attribution that it satisfies the Notability criteria for one of the following guidelines for inclusion on Wikipedia: Academics, Biographies, Organizations and companies, Fiction, Music, Films, Schools, Web content, or several proposals for new guidelines, or it may violate the Conflict of interest guideline, or perhaps it is a Copyright violation.
Wikipedia articles must be based on reliable sources to verify any claims of notability. Even though the lack of reliable source attribution in an article is not grounds for deletion in itself, an article with absolutely no sources (or only external links to unreliable ones) suggests to some editors that multiple reliable sources may not, in fact, exist.
Although I am considering tagging this article for deletion according to the Deletion policy, I am nonetheless willing to assist User:Editor-name (talk · contribs), and other recent contributors to this article, to make constructive improvements to it ... I do not have time to examine this article in depth at the moment, and it may improve over time, in which case this warning was premature.
Please respond on this Discussion page, instead of on my Talk page, in order to avoid fragmenting the conversation.

[edit] Usage
Depending on how you do it, you may or may not want the template to automagically generate a section header.
Note that no default signature is provided, so you should either append "~~~~" or your own custom signature. Also, this template must be substituted.
Default: {{subst:Flag-article |(Editor-name) |(Guideline)}}.
- No section header is generated. (Editor-name) is the only required argument. Omitting (Guideline) will result in a generic but rather verbose message with a comprehensive list of notability guidelines, so one should always be specified.
- The recognized values for (Guideline) are:
Linked Header: {{subst:Flag-article |(Editor-name) |(Guideline) |header=1}}.
- Note: The (Guideline) will select the appropriate notability shortcut, e.g., WP:BIO for People, or WP:CORP for Companies.
Custom Header: {{subst:Flag-article |(Editor-name) |(Guideline) |header=1 |header-text=(your header text)}}.
- == your header text ==
Note: You must provide (Editor-name), or else it will not display correctly.
