Our key policies - if you read anything, read these! Here a few pointers to help you get to know Wikinews: There are always things to do on Wikinews: By the way, you can sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ), which produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, you can ask them at the water cooler or to anyone on the Welcommittee, or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome!

Sorry, but just because you can no longer create the article on Wikipedia doesn't mean you can just jump to another Wiki and create it there. Even if it were written more like a news article, I can see problems with neutrality, sourcing (bebo is really not a decent source for the article), and probably conflict of interest, as I would guess that if you are not Saunders yourself it would seem fairly obvious that you are connected to him, and as such writing an article on him is discouraged (though not completely prohibited, as long as you follow all the other rules). As such, I have nominated the article for deletion. I hope you will take a look at the welcome message above, and consider staying around to write some news articles.
