Requested move
Andy McCreath

User:Amccreath → Andy McCreath – I would like to request a move under a different name. The name should be Andy McCreath and not User:Amccreath. This "User:Amccreath" interferes with searches made for Andy McCreath and does not seem like a real Wikipedia page. ANDY MCCREATH 22:57, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, that's not going to happen. You're essentially requesting that an article be made out of the user page. Articles for creation is the proper process you're looking for. On a closely related note, the userpage should clearly be deleted per WP:UP unless someone actually deems that autobiography sufficiently notable and salvageable for mainspace. --84.44.182.148 (talk) 17:18, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
 * On the contrary, this editor can make this move himself. This doesn't mean the article won't be deleted, but the process doesn't require an RM. AFC is not required, though it is perhaps advisable in this case in order to improve the article to the point where it could be kept. A procedural close may be called for. --BDD (talk) 17:29, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
 * You're right. I thought the user wasn't autoconfirmed yet (ie. couldn't move pages), but it seems that he is. You're not right after all. His account is not autoconfirmed yet as he has made only 2 edits out of the required 10. He cannot move pages yet. --84.44.182.148 (talk) 17:35, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Gotcha. All I checked was the "article" history, and it looked plenty old enough. Andy, read up on autoconfirmed to learn how you could make this move yourself. But again, it may be better to work through AFC. This looks to be an autobiography, which is strongly discouraged. --BDD (talk) 17:46, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Edit request
Could someone please take a look at the user page and decide whether to to move it to mainspace or to MFD? Imho, that autobiographical page couldn't stand as an article and is encyclopedically unsalvageable for mainspace. But it cannot stay in userspace either, because it clearly violates the list of userpage no-no's ("Writings [...] not closely related to Wikipedia's goals"). --84.44.230.252 (talk) 14:59, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
 * This page at it currently reads doesn't stand a chance in article space. However, in userspace, there is usually more leeway given to personal CVs on accounts that clearly represent only one person. You are, of course, welcome to nominate this page at MfD by following the instructions for unregistered users at WP:MFD. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 19:43, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Amccreath


A tag has been placed on User:Amccreath, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

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. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 16:42, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
