Speedy deletion of Jon Kern
A tag has been placed on Jon Kern, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Business' FAQ for more information.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from pages that you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, then please place  on the page (please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag) and make your case on the page's. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Victao lopes (talk) 22:25, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Your user page
You said over at Jon Kern that "wikipedia suggested i create that page." The message you are talking about is probably talking about your user page at User:JonKernPA, not an actual encyclopedia page about yourself. eaolson (talk) 02:03, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

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. (See Wikipedians with articles.)    Acroterion  (talk)  02:06, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Ok, i'll take the high road. Am I notable? To think so would be immodest. Very few people in the world are notable. I deleted the content of Jon Kern. Though you should check similar pages that just show an author's books, blog, home page -- to be consistent. The other authors of the Agile Manifesto. The few peers I checked were all similar to my attempt...
 * For what it's worth, I think I'm pretty notable, but I fail Wikipedia standards. We also know that other stuff exists that probably fails, and should be cleaned up.  However, the big red flag is writing about one's self.  We encourage you to continue to contribute: you might wish to consult your first article for some help, and we alsways welcome help in improving existing articles.

Preplan
Another editor has added the  template to the article Preplan, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also What Wikipedia is not and Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the  template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
