Proposed deletion of David William Pyke


The article David William Pyke has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Article is just a gushing autobiography. Only 2 of the links given actually mention the guy (one being his official website, and the other being a company that promotes his work). Doesn't pass WP:GNG, if he did, someone else would have written the article about him.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Autobiography
Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at David William Pyke. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you. --Drm310 (talk) 03:19, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
