 * There are several reasons why the article Dorothy Atieno Okello - Otieno was unsuitable as a Wikipedia article, perhaps the most important being that it was written in an unambiguously promotional way, clearly intended to impress us with what a wonderful woman she is, rather than being written from a neutral point of view. Since Wikipedia policy does not allow writing to promote or adulate anyone or anything, the article has been deleted. My advice to new editors is that it is best to start by making small improvements to existing articles, rather than creating new articles. That way any mistakes you make will be small ones, and you won't have the discouraging experience of repeatedly seeing hours of work deleted. Gradually, you will get to learn how Wikipedia works, and after a while you will know enough about what is acceptable to be able to write whole new articles without fear that they will be deleted. Over the years I have found that editors who start by making small changes to existing articles and work up from there have a far better chance of having a successful time here than those who jump right into creating new articles from the start.
