User talk:Germainmaluka

Welcome
Hello, Germainmaluka, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you created appears to be an article about yourself. This is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.

The page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Vanjagenije (talk) 23:06, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Germain Maluka
Hello Germainmaluka,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Germain Maluka for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Vanjagenije (talk) 23:06, 23 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Regarding Speedy Deletion


 * Hello, Germainmaluka. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia.
 * I'm sorry, but this has been deleted as meeting one or more of the Categories for Speedy Deletion. 
 * Generally, articles are speedily deleted when there is no assertion of significance or they fall into things to avoid or what Wikipedia is not.


 * Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources providing verifiable information. That generally means someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. 
 * Sometimes articles are deleted because they contain content copyrighted elsewhere . Such content can be used as a source of information, but the content here must be completely rewritten from scratch.
 * Some articles contain material written in a promotional tone. These must often be written from scratch. They are vigorously deleted.
 * Any content that is negative in tone and unsourced or which is disparaging will also be vigorously deleted.
 * Any deficiencies with notability, sourcing, or things to avoid should be remedied before reposting as they can lead to repeated deletions.

 * If you want to try again, please use the Article Wizard to guide you through the creation process.
 * You may find this tool useful: Google custom search

If you have verifiable information from reliable sources that show subject does meet notability requirements Let me know. CONTENT IN ARTICLES NEEDS TO BE RELIABLY SOURCED. Dloh cierekim  00:03, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Germain Maluka. 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.
