Speedy deletion nomination of Alistair Martin
Hello Hypnoduck,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Alistair Martin for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons.

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. Blythwood (talk) 21:10, 25 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Ah, that explains it. Writing an article on yourself isn't really right for Wikipedia. Maybe you want to put this content on your user page about yourself. I'm about to add an explanation of this below - an automated text. Blythwood (talk) 21:38, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

Welcome
Hello, Hypnoduck, 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! Blythwood (talk) 21:38, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
