How does X work?
Hi Could you tell me why my page has been deleted - the page is a biography of my life Or Biographies of living persons Have I done something wrong when setting up the page? I look forward to hearing from you Kind regards Ann Mc Gowan Ballyshannon (talk) 16:08, 23 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi Ann. The main problem is that Wikipedia isn't a place to write about yourself. There are strict criteria that determine whether a subject should be covered and it is unlikely that you meet these at present unless your books have been reviewed in national newspapers or such like. The precise reason for deleting it is explained below because it was your userpage rather than an article, but if you had put it in the correct place (Ann Mc Gowan) it would have been deleted for not explaining the significance of your work. I hope this makes sense and if you would like a copy of the page I can email it to you, put please don't put it back on Wikipedia. Thank you SmartSE (talk) 17:14, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Through many months of gruelling treatment she kept up her campaign and was presented with awards for her work. She was also nominated for Donegal Person of the Year in 2008/09.
