Regarding the article you created about yourself
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. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:18, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
- Re your message: The article was deleted because you did not establish why you are notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia. As mentioned in my note to you above, writing an autobiography is strongly discouraged. While you can write one, you need to include why you meet the aforementioned notability guidelines. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:27, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
- Re your message: I would prefer not to restore it as I don't think you currently meet the notability guidelines for authors. You current writings do not appear to meet the requirements and I don't think there is anything you can provide at this time to meet the guidelines. Perhaps in the future when you complete your novel and it is published, you will meet the notability guidelines. Additionally, I recommend that you read the following link: WP:GFYA. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:37, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
- Re your message: I need to clarify my last comment. Merely being published, either online or in physical book form, does not infer notability. Please see the notability guidelines for authors or the general notability guidelines. I'm sorry, but at this time, you do not appear to be notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia.
