Text document with 2red question marks.svg
This article does not cite any reliable sources. Reliable sources are necessary to demonstrate that a particular subject is notable enough to warrant an article. Please help by identifying at least one reliable source that gives significant coverage of the topic, and adding it to this article. If at least two such sources cannot be found, the article may be considered for deletion. (February 2026) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)

Usage

This maintenance template should be placed at the top of any article which includes one or more sources, but where all of these sources are what Wikipedia considers to be patently unreliable (e.g., Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, IMDb, Twitter, etc.). The person placing the tag does not need to have conducted a search to establish whether or not reliable sources actually exist. Once this article contains at least one bonafide reliable source, this template should be removed from it-- anyone may remove it, including the article's creator, if that condition has been met.

Note that an article that has no reliable sources is not the same as one which has sources, some of which are unreliable (in which case the {{Unreliable sources}} template is more appropriate), nor is it completely unreferenced (a situation which is covered by the {{Unreferenced}} template).

This maintenance tag should not be used as an alternative to initiating a deletion discussion for non-notable subjects. If an editor conducts a reasonable search for reliable sources and cannot find at least two, the article is likely appropriate for deletion . Do not place this tag on the article if a search for reliable sources has been conducted and come back empty handed or if only one reliable source seems to exist.
