Hi Tariq. You deleted some tags I put on this article without addressing the concerns I raised or responding to my message on the talk page. I could just go in and make the changes I think need making, but I would really prefer to work with you to bring it up to acceptable standards for Wikipedia if we can. For now, I've just restored the tags.
You might also check out our welcome page, our core policies and our guideline on editing with a conflict of interst (since I'm guessing from your user name and the contents of the article that this is an auto-bigraphical article at the moment. -- SiobhanHansa 18:05, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Sources that show your notability or verify assertions in the article need to be in appropriate publications whose opinion/writing can be considered reliable. Passing mentions or puff pieces, most web-only publications and self-published materials (such as your current sources) are only acceptable for non-contentious facts, they don't show notability nor can they be used to assert you are particularly well respected in some area. Sources do not need to be online or in English (though if you have them, they are preferred), but you must provide a proper citation so that an independent person could look up the reference themselves. That's the most important bit - if we can get those sources, the article can build from there.
