Speedy deletion nomination of User:Gilfort Mabitsela/sandbox


Do not create articles about living people that are entirely negative in tone and not sourced. Wikipedia has a policy of verifiability and any negative information we use must be reliably sourced, and our articles must be balanced. Negative, unreferenced biographies of living people are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Under section G10 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images in violation of our biographies of living persons policy may be blocked from editing.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. NgYShung huh? 09:06, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

What Wikipedia is and isn't for
Welcome to Wikipedia. I am sorry that you are having a rather unwelcoming time, but I need to explain what Wikipedia is and what it isn't. It's a project to build an encyclopeda. An encyclopedia doesn't report anything new, it only summarises what has already been reported in reliable sources. Two fundamental policies are WP:Verifiability, summarised as "all material must be attributable to reliable, published sources", and No original research.

So it's not a place to write accounts of your own experiences, even on your user page. Wikipedia user pages are not like those at social-networking sites. They are for the contributors to the encyclopedia to say something about themselves, if they like, in the context of their Wikipedia work, to help communication within the project. This is explained at WP:NOTWEBHOST: "'Wikipedians have their own user pages, but they should be used primarily to present information relevant to working on the encyclopedia. Limited biographical information is allowed, but user pages should not function as personal webpages or be repositories for large amounts of material that is irrelevant to collaborating on Wikipedia. If you are looking to make a personal webpage or blog or to post your résumé, please make use of one of the many free providers on the Internet or any hosting included with your Internet account.'"

Alternative outlets might suggest places where you could write about your restoration experience.

The links in the Welcome message at the top of this page will tell you more about Wikipedia. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 09:48, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
