Contested deletion
This page should not be speedily deleted because... (it shouldn't be deleted as it is the biography of a living person and I'm still understanding how this works in order to submit the article to the proper place) --Andrea uam96 (talk) 23:31, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I'd recommend going through Articles for creation. They will help guide you through the article creation process and allow you to create a draft that you can submit. I am also going to leave a notice regarding Conflict of Interest and Paid Editing as the nature of your userpage appears to be a promotional biography. GPL93 (talk) 23:35, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Andrea uam96. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. GPL93 (talk) 23:35, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

A chance to improve your draft article
Andrea, I disagree with the reason given for deletion. The page is clearly a draft for an article, and not material unrelated to work for the encyclopaedia. Nevertheless, it is also unambiguously promotional, and my first impulse was to delete it for that reason, but on reflection I have decided there is no reason you should not be given a chance to edit it to make it acceptable.
