Speedy deletion nomination of Create an bio


A tag has been placed on Create an bio 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.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Writ Keeper &#9863;&#9812; 14:37, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

About your page...
Hey, Ajjd12, I wanted to drop by here and give you a more personal note about the page you've created. At first I thought it was just an article about a person that's not notable (as the notice above says). It's a bit hard to tell, but it looks like you might actually be testing the editing functions of Wikipedia? If you are, that's great, and you're welcome to do that, but the thing is that it's not good for editing tests like that to be placed in the main article space. We actually have a page, called the sandbox, that's set aside specifically for testing things; you should probably make your editing tests there. You can also create your own sandbox in your personal space: this will let you experiment a little bit with creating a new page (although there's not really much difference between creating a new page and just editing one). You can put your personal sandbox here.

If you really were trying to write a real article, then there are a few things you should know about. Wikipedia doesn't aim to have an article on every possible subject in the world (that'd be well over 6 billion articles, just for people who are alive today.) So, Wikipedia has a threshold of inclusion called notability. Notability has many different meanings, depending on the subject, but at a most basic level, it's expressed in the general notability guideline, which says that a subject must have significant coverage (a full paragraph equivalent or more, not just a passing mention) in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the subject. This is especially important for articles that are about living people, since their lives can be damaged by inaccurate information in ways that we can't always predict.

If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them at my talk page, or you can try asking at the Teahouse, which is a place designed for new editors to get answers to their questions in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Thanks! Writ Keeper &#9863;&#9812; 15:00, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
