Proposed deletion of Tim Wallace-Murphy
The article Tim Wallace-Murphy has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Misplaced Pages 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.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Jordan.williams. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Tim Wallace-Murphy, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Misplaced Pages articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:
- avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
- instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
- when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to the Misplaced Pages article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- exercise great caution so that you do not violate Misplaced Pages's content policies.
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Please take a few moments to read and review Misplaced Pages's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 14:10, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
I understand your concern, you don't want biased information going up on an influential site, but please rest assured that this is done as a personal favor to Mr Wallace-Murphy, an 87 year old man, and I am not being commissioned for the work. Jordan.williams (talk) 14:31, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
