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 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.

I removed the wiki-link to Our Veins Are Maps! that you edited into four articles for the following reasons:

1. No article currently exists at that link,

2. Even then, a google search for the band shows extremely few, if any sources for the band.

Please do not take this as a personal bias against you or the band, but Wikipedia has a very strict policy towards Notability, which can be viewed here. Feel free to create an article on the band and restore your edits in the future, but keep in mind that you must be prepared to cite original, outside resources that assert the band's notability, or the article will most likely be nominated for Deletion. Thank you. TheLetterM 07:17, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
