Welcome!

Hello, GuySone, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Guy Stone, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Guy Stone


A tag has been placed on Guy Stone requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 23:32, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not Facebook
Welcome to Wikipedia. A page you recently created, Guy Stone, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests, and consider using the Article Wizard. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article. You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. For more information on why the article was deleted, please see the notability guidelines and the reliable source guidelines. Thank you. Ian.thomson (talk) 23:38, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, instead of writing it yourself, as you did at Guy Stone. 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. (See Wikipedians with articles.) If you wish to create a page about yourself, I recommend editing your user page Ian.thomson (talk) 23:38, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Your article is going to be deleted without serious changes
Wikipedia does not accept Facebook as a source, especially when there's no public info on the page. We accept magazine and newspaper articles, books, etc. You need multiple, non-trival, references independant of you to be considered notable. Without these, the page will be deleted. In fact, unless you present proof, we're likely to assume that the page is a hoax (which would not make us happy), since it makes some pretty big claims about a 15 year old.
