Welcome!
Hello, Afterimage2112, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited appears to be an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. We require individuals to meet Wikipedia's definition of a notable person to accept articles about them.

The page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page. If your contributions to an existing article about yourself are undone and you wish to add to it, please propose the changes on its talk page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome!

You have an obvious conflict of interest, please don't write about yourself, your friends or relatives and read the guidance below:


 * When you write about a person, you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that they meet the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the person or an associated organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the person claims or interviewing them. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls.
 * You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.
 * There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
 * You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. You must also reply to the COI request above. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  10:29, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for message. I assumed that you had a COI partly because this sort of first name stuff (Michael thinks this... Michael did that) is nearly always written by the performer or his management, but in this case you took a picture of him at an apparently professional photoshoot, which suggests that portraying yourself as just a fan isn't entirely transparent when you have that sort of access. Your image also appears on his website. If you are concealing a COI you can be blocked.

Please read the rest of my previous message. Most of your sources are interviews, his own websites or YouTube videos, none of which are independent third-party sources. We don't care what he says about himself, we need proper independent sources.

You tell us in great detail about his career, but omit stuff that establishes his notability, like major music awards or significant chart placings. If he doesn't meet those criteria, he doesn't get an article.

The text is just promo Michael is a multi-talented musician... Michael is best known for creating powerful, hard-hitting and catchy radio worthy Alternative Rock tracks... to create diverse and imaginative soundscapes that enhance the drama to develop distinctive and immersive  [sic] musical scores. And that's just the lead, just fact-free promo.

There shouldn't be any external links in the text, especially not to his sites. The image you took seems very similar to this, which means that you have posted your image on a copyrighted page, so it can't be used here Jimfbleak - talk to me?  10:11, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
