Contested deletion
This page should not be speedily deleted because... This is auto biographical information about the user to support future writings. It is not being used as web hosting. --Barrykostiner (talk) 22:20, 1 March 2022 (UTC)


 * What future writings will there be?  signed, Willondon (talk)  22:26, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

The intent was to contribute to existing articles in my areas of expertise and I considered adding a full history of my current company as a separate article. Before being indiscriminately and without communication (as recommended in the guidelines) deleted I was excited to contribute wherever I am able. I do not see how my education and professional history qualify as Blatant Misuse / Web Hosting.

 * Well, you will want to thoroughly read some of the material about that on Wikipedia. I recommend the articles at Autobiography, Conflict of interest and if you decide to go ahead, Drafts. A draft is traditionally where you would work on a proposed new article. As it stands, writing about yourself on your user page is seen as hosting a web page about yourself, much like you would on another service that caters to that (Myspace, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.), and education and professional history are not relevant factors. I see the user page has been deleted twice already, and this is why. It is currently vulnerable to a third deletion. You may find that it's not a good idea to write an article about yourself for Wikipedia, but if you plan to continue, you will be much less vulnerable to deletion in the proper place, i.e. Draft space.

Note: re edit comment "Republished, and continues to be within the guidelines set by Wikipedia" The fact that it keeps getting deleted (3x so far) is a strong indication that it is not within the guidelines set by Wikipedia. You could address the advice given above. Or you can point to some guidelines you believe support your assertion that the user page falls within Wikipedia's guidelines. signed, Willondon (talk) 14:13, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
