  You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, instead of writing it yourself. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. 76.102.27.141 (talk) 07:09, 30 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of LIGHTKNIFE

edit
 

A tag has been placed on LIGHTKNIFE requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

PS We really do need third party references to articles, links to reviews in the NYTimes or other reliable sources are ideal. ϢereSpielChequers 19:53, 30 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Sourcing

edit

Please do not remove the tag unless some reliable independent references have been added. You cannot just use a 'company' website as the only reference. It can be an external link, but it does not meet Wikipedia's requirements - especially for the bio of a living person. Please see WP:RS for more details of what is needed. Removing the tag won't make us go away - adding the references we want will. If they aren't added, I'm afraid the article will go away. Please see also WP:BIO and WP:COI. These are important if you want the article to survive. If you are not sure, ASK SOMEONE - any of the regular editors should be able to help. Peridon (talk) 16:24, 1 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. A page you recently created, Candace Campbell, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests, and consider using the Article Wizard. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article. You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. Toddst1 (talk) 16:58, 3 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
