User talk:IGWhyte

Welcome!
Hello, IGWhyte, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:IGWhyte, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:IGWhyte


A tag has been placed on User:IGWhyte, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.
 * It appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free Web hosting service. (See section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

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 deleted 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedily deleted because... (I am just an actor trying to make a wiki page. I'm sorry if i've done something wrong, is there a video showing how to create an actor's page? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Ian Gerard Whyte) --IGWhyte (talk) 14:31, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi. We discourage autobiographies in userspaces that are incompatible with Wikipedia's goals.  A userpage should talk about yourself as an .  You may create an article in WP:DRAFT space, but please read WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY.  Writing about yourself is strongly discouraged for a myriad of reasons.  You may also read WP:YOURFIRSTARTICLE for more tips.  Additionally the WP:TEAHOUSE exists to help new editors and seasoned editors may have advice there.  As it currently stands, your userpage looks like a WP:FAKEARTICLE hence the tagging for deletion.  Thanks, Jip Orlando (talk) 14:37, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Ah sorry, I really don't understand half of what you're saying. I will read up on the links you have posted and try to do better on the wp draft, I wasn't creating an autobiography page, I was trying to create a page like several of my peers in the performance industry.
 * Thanks for your time and advice. IGWhyte (talk) 14:43, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
