Speedy deletion nomination of User:DJasonCanaan


A tag has been placed on your user page, User:DJasonCanaan, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be blatant advertising which only promotes or publicises a company, product, group or service, and which is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages; user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (your reason here) --DJasonCanaan (talk) 06:19, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

I signed into Wikipedia for the first time, created an account, and within 5-minutes was tagged with this message from ~barakokula31. I'd be happy to make changes, i have no problem doing that, and I'm not even sure where to begin. This isn't meant to be for promotion or spam, just like any other public performer, entertainer, or actor (for example) many of which have a Wikipedia page, that was my intent here. I literally just created this account and before I could even get started, as I didn't know what to put for the very first time, this flag happened. So yes, I do contest this deletion, and I welcome any suggestions for User Name, etc. I have no problem doing that. Was the issue because I placed a hyperlink in the opening body? Please advise.


 * I deleted the page because it was blatant advertising. Whilst it is acceptable to put a little bit about yourself in your user page, what you wrote was basically an advert. Because of this it was taken down by speedy deletion (see WP:CSD and WP:PROMO for more details).  I'm sorry that your first experience of Wikipedia isn't that great, but you have to appreciate that there are so many thousands of pages being created all the time (not all of them acceptable), we have these processes in place to prevent Wikipedia being swamped by adverts and other non-encyclopedic articles.

 * So then I'll be able to publish articles written just not direct advertise, is that correct?

'For example: If you search for "Dr Dre" here's the opening: 'Dr. Dre From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This article is about the rapper. For the New York State radio and television presenter, see Doctor Dré.' ' Is that where I'm not understanding the purpose here?

Thank you for your time to respond and help.


 * I suggest you read our policy on notability. For a subject (such as a person) to have an article on Wikipedia, the article must be supported by significant coverage in independent, reliable sources.  Additionally, you should not create or edit articles where you have a conflict of interest.  I hope you have an interesting and productive career on Wikipedia, but creating an article about yourself would be generally considered not a promising start.

 * A good starting point is reading Your First Article. Good luck, and have fun! Stephen! Coming... 11:22, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
