Speedy deletion nomination of Ben Chanenson


Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing inappropriate pages, such as Ben Chanenson, is not in accordance with our policies.

Wikipedia is not for writing about yourself
Welcome to Wikipedia, but it is not a place like Facebook or LinkedIn for people to write about themselves, still less to write "jokey" nonsense about themselves. It is a quite different sort of site, a project to build a serious encyclopedia, so it is selective about subjects for articles, and writing about oneself is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at Wikipedia is not about YOU and Autobiography.

The links in the Welcome message at the top of this page will tell you more about Wikipedia; also, you should read Guidance for younger editors. JohnCD (talk) 14:50, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
