Speedy deletion nomination of Adekunle Oyedepo


A tag has been placed on Adekunle Oyedepo 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 credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Not what Wikipedia is for
You said, " Dear operator, the bearer Adekunle Oyedepo is an aspiring politician in Nigeria, and is hereby using this medium to build up his profile for public view.He believes with his presence on here, his prospective supporters will have a platform whereby people can get first hand information about him. Thank you for your consideration". That indicates to me that you intended to use Wikipedia for advertising or promotion. That is not allowed. Wikipedia is not a directory like LinkedIn, nor is it social media like Facebook. If you seek a site on which to give information about your subject, you can use either of those. They do not object to advertising and promotion as we do. If and when your subject passes WP:BIO or WP:POLITICIAN, with reliable independent sources to prove it, then may be the time for an article here. But this is not the place for 'first hand information'. We insist on independent sources rather than the subject and his people. Peridon (talk) 13:19, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
