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

Proposed deletion of Grayson Alexander


The article Grayson Alexander has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Iago Qnsi (talk) 02:54, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Some advice
Hello Grayson. As other editors have pointed out, it is not a good idea for you to write about yourself. There are a number of policies and guidelines that are too easy to violate:
 * 1) Conflict of interest - Wikipedia is not a place for you to promote yourself or your work. This applies equally to your agent or anyone else who represents you. Anyone who edits an article about you and is being paid for their work must disclose this fact per Wikipedia's terms of use.
 * 2) Notability - Only people who have already achieved a level of notability are worthy of inclusion. Specific criteria for actors/entertainers are found at WP:NACTOR. Wikipedia does not speculate on people/things that might become notable in the future.
 * 3) Original research - You can't use your own unpublished personal knowledge or experience as article content. If it's not published by a reliable source, it can't exist on Wikipedia.

In addition, you should be aware that an article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing. Negative information about you, if reported by a reliable source and written from a neutral point of view, is fair game. Also, you won't be able to claim ownership over an article about you, as Wikipedia is editable by anyone at anytime. Of course, there are ways to deal with problems in an article about you, if that ever happens.

My advice is for you and your agent to step away. If and when you achieve a level of notability worthy of an article, then someone unconnected to you will write one. --Drm310 (talk) 14:54, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
