Hi, thanks for message. You can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~. Please add your messages to the bottom of the talk page, or they may be overlooked. I deleted your article because
 * it did not provide adequate independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. (organizations and companies) (music) (software) (academics) It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, as defined in the link, or they will be deleted. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to him, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the he claims or interviews with him. Many of your refs did not meet our criteria, with several simply reporting what he had said
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: He is best known for... He is famous... The positive results convinced Skinner to permanently change his career focus... offering high spec branded refurbishments... The portfolios he build were performing well despite the financial crisis... the development model proved perfect for the current market.
 * the article was mostly created in a single edit without wikilinks or references, and looks as if was copied from an unknown and possibly copyrighted source. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

If you have a conflict of interest when editing this article, you must declare it. Furthermore, the nature of your edits gives the impression you have a financial stake in promoting this topic. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a black hat practice. Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly. Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:   . If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. Once you have responded to the COI paragraphs above, I'll can post the deleted text to a user subpage for you to work on if you want me to, just let me know.

Hello,

Thank you so much for taking the time and providing me with all the information. I am deeply sorry, if I have not followed the guidelines of wikipedia. I did this unknowingly and I really apologize for that. My impression of wikipedia was that I simply can start writing a page which then will be edited and corrected by the community. I am currently working for Martin Skinner and I had the idea to write about him a wikipedia article since he secured the world's largest p2p loan. However, he did not ask me to do that and I did it on my own, private initiative. Unfortunately, I am an unexperienced writer and English is not my first language which made me overlook the issues you have stated in your post. I did not want to sound judging in any way and I just wanted to state the information. When I write something, I need to use only my own words while providing an article by the Financial Times or something like that, is this correct? How am I able to find quotable information about the life of Martin Skinner if this information is not originating from him in an interview? My main idea was just to set up the page in order to inform that Skinner has secured the loan and on the side I wanted to provide some side information. Should I instead suggest the community to write this article? How exactly can I do that? I am sorry for all the difficulties. I did not mean to cause any problems.
