Garry-Owen Mckinnon - reply to your message
Any article about a living person which is still unsourced after seven days is deleted automatically, in order to protect people from having unverifiable information about them on display. I have undeleted this page and "userfied" it for you - moved it into a sub-page in your user space at User:Demion1987/Garry-Owen McKinnon where you can work on it.

I am sorry that Wikipedia does not do a very good job of explaining to new users what it is and is not for. Things I need to explain now are:


 * Wikipedia is not a social-networking site like LinkedIn or Facebook for people to write about themselves. While not prohibited, that is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at Autobiography. If you want to go ahead, you should also read the Plain and simple conflict of interest guide.
 * That means that you should not post an article directly. There is a green "Submit" link at the top of the draft page which will send it, when you are ready, to Articles for creation, where an experienced user will review it and either accept it or give you feedback.
 * Reliable sources are vital. The Verifiability policy says that "any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source." Your own personal knowledge is not enough, because a reader needs to be able to check what they read.
 * Wikipedia is quite choosy about subjects for articles. The test for inclusion is called Notability, and which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." For motor sports, the standard expected is at WP:Notability (sports).
 * There is good advice at WP:Your first article. JohnCD (talk) 20:34, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
