Speedy deletion nomination of User:Iqdrac


A tag has been placed on User:Iqdrac requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page 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. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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 deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedily deleted because... I have condensed my rather lengthy user page in keeping with the guidelines you quoted --Iqdrac (talk) 09:03, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

Your user page
I have declined the speedy-deletion nomination, but you should understand that Wikipedia user pages are not like those at social-networking sites - they are intended primarily for information about you as a Wikipedian, and your Wikiedia work. Their use is explained at WP:NOTWEBHOST: "'Wikipedians have their own user pages, but they should be used primarily to present information relevant to working on the encyclopedia. Limited biographical information is allowed, but user pages should not function as personal webpages or be repositories for large amounts of material that is irrelevant to collaborating on Wikipedia. If you are looking to make a personal webpage or blog or to post your résumé, please make use of one of the many free providers on the Internet or any hosting included with your Internet account.'" I see from your user page that you are looking for work at sites like Elance. Please be aware that paid editing of Wikipedia is very strongly discouraged - read the Plain and simple conflict of interest guide for more about this.
