Speedy deletion nomination of User:Couritech
Hello Couritech,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged User:Couritech for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Musamies (talk) 03:43, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... it is meant as a source reference for subject matter expertise only - for which citations made be attributable on Wikipedia pages. The subject matters background and legitimate certifications of note are all that is wished to be conveyed to readers. It has been modified to documentable facts only, and is not intended to be anything but encyclopedic in nature. It is not intended as a promotional page --Couritech (talk) 06:27, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... it states only facts about the author --69.255.98.90 (talk) 07:29, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not for writing about yourself
Mr Johansen, welcome to Wikipedia, but it is not a place like Facebook or LinkedIn for people to write about themselves. It is a quite different sort of site, a project to build an 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.

Wikipedia user pages are not like those at social-networking sites. Their use is explained at WP:NOTWEBHOST: "'Wikipedians have their own user pages, but they should be used primarily to present information relevant to working on the encyclopedia. Limited biographical information is allowed, but user pages should not function as personal webpages or be repositories for large amounts of material that is irrelevant to collaborating on Wikipedia. If you are looking to make a personal webpage or blog or to post your résumé, please make use of one of the many free providers on the Internet or any hosting included with your Internet account.'" The links in the Welcome message at the top of this page will tell you more about Wikipedia. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 08:59, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
