==Notability of James DeVone, Sr.== |

The entries you are posting on James DeVone, Sr. are of questionable notability. By wording the entry to show his accomplishments and books, it comes off as an advertisement or promotion for Mr. DeVone. Please read Wikipedia's [[WP:BIO|guidelines on the notability of people]]; to add the person as a 'notable resident' or in any other part of Wikipedia, the best thing to do is to create a page for him first- for example, under [[James DeVone, Sr.]]. The guidelines of notability still apply. [[User:Tedder|tedder]] ([[User talk:Tedder|talk]]) 00:16, 28 April 2009 (UTC) |

By wording the entry to show his accomplishments and books, it comes off as an advertisement or promotion for Mr. DeVone. Please read Wikipedia's guidelines on the notability of people; to add the person as a 'notable resident' or in any other part of Wikipedia, the best thing to do is to create a page for him first- for example, under James DeVone, Sr..
