User talk:Empowersd

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to No original research, Neutral point of view, and Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later.

 * IF the article gets deleted (likely, I think), read this guideline for inclusion if you're interested in rewriting it. You can always make a page at User:Empowersd/Sandbox and move it to the mainspace when it's ready.  Whatever you do, make sure to cite reliable, third party sources, both to allow information to be verifiable, and to show that the subject meets the usual criteria for inclusion.
