User talk:Johnthebastard

Please stop spamming John I Doukas of Thessaly with this John Barker guy. This is an encyclopedia, not an internet posting board for everyone his friends call "John the Bastard". If you think he is notable enough, create a separate article on him under John Barker (guitarist) or whatever. His bio certainly does not belong at John Doukas' article. Constantine  ✍  12:35, 1 March 2011 (UTC) I see you created the article already. Good, but unless you have some independent, reliable third-party sources on notability, he'll get deleted. And what I said above is still valid: His bio certainly does not belong at John Doukas' article in any form, and you have to prove somehow that he is widely known as "John the Bastard" before re-adding him to the article's hatnote.

Proposed deletion of John Barker (Guitarist)


The article John Barker (Guitarist) has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners or ask at Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Constantine  ✍  12:42, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of John Barker (Guitarist)


A tag has been placed on John Barker (Guitarist) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. noq (talk) 13:33, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

March 2011
Please refrain from writing autobiographical articles, as you did at John Barker (Guitarist). Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged; if you create such an article, it may be deleted. All edits to articles must conform to our policies on no original research, neutral point of view, and avoid conflicts of interest. Please remember that Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia, not a personal webspace provider. If your achievements are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. noq (talk) 13:34, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
