Biographies
Hello, Drileyct, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. To create a page about yourself, simply edit your own user page located at User:Drileyct. Please note that the main articles on Wikipedia are not meant for creating an autobiography about ourselves or everyday people. For more information, refer to the following pages: Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Regards, Shawnc 17:31, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

David D. Riley
A tag has been placed on David D. Riley, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Frankly, the article does not look like an encyclopedic biography. It looks like an ad for your services, which is totally inappropriate for Wikipedia content. Fan-1967 17:38, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

User:Drileyct
I've added the "" template to your user page (User:Drileyct), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy).

Please note that the purpose of a user page is not as personal homepage or used as a general webhosting service, but as way for active editors of Wikipedia to introduce themselves to other editors. If you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues here or on my user talk page. You may remove the deletion notice, and the page will not be deleted for the moment, but note that it may still be sent to Miscellany for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.
