Speedy deletion nomination of Helga Barkhuizen


A tag has been placed on Helga Barkhuizen 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, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, 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, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:47, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

In addition to the problem mentioned above, the article was unambiguous promotion of its subject, and appeared to be a copyright infringement of http://www.facebook.com/pages/Helga-Barkhuizen-Miss-South-Africa-International-2012/113082388781948?v=info. Any one of these three problems would have been sufficient reason for speedy deletion. JamesBWatson (talk) 10:58, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Please do not write an article about yourself, as you did at Helga Barkhuizen. 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). 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. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  13:57, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
