Speedy deletion nomination of Adam Rance
Hello Adam Rance,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Adam Rance for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Abderrahman (talk) 11:47, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not for writing about yourself
Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for realising that your user page was not appropriate here. Wikipedia is not a place like Facebook or LinkedIn for people to write about themselves. It is a different sort of site, a project to build an encyclopedia, so it is selective about subjects for articles, and writing about oneself is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at Wikipedia is not about YOU and Autobiography.

Wikipedia user pages are not like those at social-networking sites. Their use is explained at WP:NOTWEBHOST: "'Wikipedians have their own user pages, but they should be used primarily to present information relevant to working on the encyclopedia. Limited biographical information is allowed, but user pages should not function as personal webpages or be repositories for large amounts of material that is irrelevant to collaborating on Wikipedia. If you are looking to make a personal webpage or blog or to post your résumé, please make use of one of the many free providers on the Internet or any hosting included with your Internet account.'" The links in the Welcome message above will tell you more about Wikipedia. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 12:53, 22 November 2014 (UTC)
