Speedy deletion nomination of User:AndrewTPCampbell/sandbox


A tag has been placed on User:AndrewTPCampbell/sandbox, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Help me!
Hi

I'm new to wiki. I'd like to create a bio page. I'm a professor at Dartmouth College - so academic. I created an account. Created a short page under sandbox (I think) and published. I was confused about how to complete this and ultimately creating a red link. It is probably easy but ..

Please help me with...

 * Please review the autobiography policy. Writing about yourself is strongly discouraged, as people naturally write favorably about themselves(among other reasons). Wikipedia is not like social media where people tell the world about themselves; Wikipedia is only interested in what independent reliable sources state with significant coverage about article subjects that are notable as Wikipedia defines it; for academics, that is defined at WP:NACADEMIC. If you truly feel that you meet the criteria, you should allow independent editors to notice your career and write about you. You can request this at requested articles, but it won't be done quickly.
 * Also keep in mind that a Wikipedia article about yourself is not necessarily desirable; there are good reasons to not want one. Anything about you, good or bad, can be in an article about you as long as it appears in an independent reliable source. You cannot lock it to what you want it to say, or prevent others from editing it. 331dot (talk) 03:04, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
