AfD nomination of Ashwin K
I have nominated Ashwin K, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/Ashwin K. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Suggestion
Inkwash, Given your editing history, username and source claim on File:Ashwink.jpg, it does seem very likely that you are Ashwin K, or are at least related to him. So I would urge you to read wikipedia's conflict of interest policies and desist from editing the article yourself. Of course you are free to add your comments on the article talk page and participate in the deletion discussion, but you should read up WP:N before you do so. Finally, note that using sock IP accounts is not a very effective technique on wikipedia and continuing to do so is likely to lead you from losing your editing privileges. 07:16, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you delete or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. R andom H umanoid ( &rArr; ) 17:52, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Autobiography and self-advertisement
You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved. 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.
