Speedy deletion nomination of Clark Schierle
A tag has been placed on Clark Schierle requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles – see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

 * Re your message: You writing an autobiography was not the reason for the deletion of the article. It was the lack of sources to back up your notability.  If you look at your colleague's article, you will see several references to articles that are not his research publications.  This is what was lacking in your article.  If you can add in references to articles about you, then that would establish your notability. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 20:44, 10 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Re your message: Sure, you can make changes on your user space copy before publishing or moving it into the normal article space. If you want me to take a look at the changes before you release it, I can do that for you. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 23:38, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, instead of writing it yourself. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to No original research, Neutral point of view, and Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. :| TelCo NaSp  Ve :|  14:51, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Re your message please follow the relevant Wikipedia guidelines above, such as asking on the COIN noticeboard or Articles for creation team or elsewhere to help you write your article. Self-authorship was not the reason for deletion; please review the message in the section immediately above this one for the rationale. :| TelCo  NaSp  Ve :|  23:51, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
