Proposed deletion of Ian DG Sandusky

The article Ian DG Sandusky has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 ^{> haneʼ} 08:44, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ian DG Sandusky

The article Ian DG Sandusky has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Autobiographical, fails WP:AUTHOR.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Triwbe (talk) 08:56, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Self Promotion

Mr. Sandusky, it would appear your edits have a conflict of interest. Wikipedia rules do not permit self-promotion. In your specific case I'm referring to all the recent additions about your book. I would suggest allowing your book to get published and made available to the general public and another editor can include it if it is notable. These topics are all covered in Wikipedia rules. I'm removing the edits you've made on the topic for now. MartinezMD (talk) 18:30, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Received your reply. No need to apologize. Adding information is useful but it needs to be vetted in some ways when it's your own. Wikipedia is a public encyclopedia, so feel free to edit other topics, add referenced information to articles etc. You can let one of us know when your book is published and it can be reviewed for listing.
