I tried to fix this page by using http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christiaan_Van_Vuuren as an example, however, it seems he was able to do what I could not. I am not trying to promote, just to reference.andtoaddcategoriesthat seem to be removed immediately? I am confused

Speedy deletion nomination of Kevin hicks
Hello Amable269,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Kevin hicks for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

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. Swibe (talk) 04:39, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Kevin hicks. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it.

Speedy deletion nomination of Kevin hicks


A tag has been placed on Kevin hicks 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, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organised event, 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 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 "Click here to 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, you can place a request here. Metropolitan90 (talk) 14:54, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

Kevin Hicks
Rather than delete this, I have "userfied" it for you - moved it into a sub-page in your "user space" where you can work on it. It is now at User:Amable269 /Kevin Hicks.

The main issue here is that Wikipedia is selective about article subjects: the criterion used is called Notability, and is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people not connected with the subject thought him important or significant enough to write substantial comment about?

The present article reads more as a life-story or CV than anything an encyclopedia reader might be interested in: the only possible notability I see there is the "Take Back Australia" movement, but the same question arises: what has it achieved? Have people independent of it thought it worth of substantial comment? A glance at shows mainly Facebook and the movement's own website.

If this is something newly-founded and looking for recognition,Wikipedia is not the place to try to get it: we only cover things that are already well-enough established for there to be independent sources to base an article on.

Wikipedia is very resistant to being used for any kind of promotion, or even for people or organizations to "tell the world" about themselves. If you are Kevin Hicks, or are connected with his group, you have from Wikipedia's point of view a WP:Conflict of interest: please read that, and the Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. In that case, you should submit your article, when it is ready, to WP:Articles for creation by clicking the "Submit the page" link at the top.

There is good advice on how to write an acceptable article at WP:Your first article, and you can find out more about Wikipedia at the WP:Welcome page and the WP:Introduction. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 15:50, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Austraphobia
Hello Amable269,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Austraphobia for deletion, because it appears to duplicate an existing Wikipedia article, Anti-Australian sentiment.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted, you can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ 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.
