Spam in TrainingForce.com

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on TrainingForce.com, by Betacommand (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because TrainingForce.com is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting TrainingForce.com, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 04:13, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Casey halloran

A tag has been placed on Casey halloran 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), 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. iBen^discuss/_contribsHow's my driving? 23:29, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Autobiography

To answer your question found on the talk page of the above-captioned article; yes, it is strongly discouraged to write an article about yourself. See this link for further details, and here's a direct quote: "Writing an autobiography on Wikipedia is strongly discouraged, unless your writing has been approved by other editors in the community. Editing a biography about yourself should only be done in clear-cut cases." Generally speaking, if you're sufficiently notable to be the subject of a Wikipedia article, someone will write it for you; there are a number of ways in which you can suggest that people do that (one is by going to WP:Wikipedia:Requested articles and following the instructions there), but writing it yourself isn't one of them. If you have questions about Wikipedia policy, you can leave me a note by clicking on the word "talk" after my signature and I'll try to help if I can (I may not be prompt, though).
