Speedy deletion nomination of David Briscoe
Hello DavidDBriscoe,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged David Briscoe 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 [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ 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.

Welcome!
Hello, DavidDBriscoe, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited was David Briscoe, which appears to be an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.

The page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page. If your contributions to an existing article about yourself are undone and you wish to add to it, please propose the changes on its talk page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! —  python coder    (talk &#124; contribs) 17:47, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with David Briscoe. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Contest this speedy deletion, which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. SamHolt6 (talk) 17:53, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

Consider "userfying" your article
You might consider moving the autobiography you wrote into "userspace". Userspace means that the page would be renamed to something like User:DavidDBriscoe/David Briscoe. This might be a good idea because userspace is the best place for autobiographical content. For more, see WP:USERFY.
