Speedy deletion nomination of User:Debra Boronski


A tag has been placed on User:Debra Boronski, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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 "Click here to 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. 331dot (talk) 14:37, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

Your username space is not space to write an article about yourself, as Wikipedia is not for promoting one's self. If you think there should be an article about yourself here, one can be created, but you should not do so yourself per the Conflict of interest policy. 331dot (talk) 14:39, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (your reason here) --Debra Boronski (talk) 14:57, 25 July 2014 (UTC) This page is being created to describe a candidate in an unbiased, factual manner. We are working on correcting this page, and making this page neutral and unbiased and would greatly appreciate additional time in addressing any errors that are on this article. We are currently adding citations to make this page more verifiable as well.

Wikipedia is not for writing about yourself
Sorry, but Wikipedia is not for what you want to do.

It is not a place like LinkedIn or Facebook for people to tell the world 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.

The policy WP:POLITICIAN provides that being an unelected candidate for political office does not provide the WP:Notability necessary to have an article. That is expressly in order to prevent the encyclopedia being used as a platform for election statements.

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 above will tell you more about Wikipedia. You should also read the Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. JohnCD (talk) 16:44, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
