Speedy deletion nomination of Jonny Arnold


A tag has been placed on Jonny Arnold 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. BurtAlert (talk) 22:26, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

February 2011
You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, instead of writing it yourself, as you did at Jonny Arnold. 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.) Thank you. bonadea contributions talk 19:55, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

I'll do it, when it is time
As a long time Red Sox fan (far longer than you've been alive) and someone who grew up very close to Portsmouth, I'm rooting for you to do well. However, you should not be creating a Wikipedia page about yourself. Make the team, and I'll write a page about you (even if you sign with a different team). Wikipedia is not about up and coming players, it is about players who have made it.-- SPhilbrick  T  22:34, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Jonny Arnold
Is this you? The height, weight and location match, but it doesn't say anyting about "American baseball player. Arnold will be making his debut on April 9, 2011 in the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball." I searched for reliable source information about Jonny Arnold, American baseball player, but did not find any. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 04:30, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Autobiographical articles

 * Hi Jonny. You're welcome to add information about yourself in your userspace.  However, we generally discourage the addition of autobiographical text in the article space.  Thanks! --Alan Au (talk) 21:38, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
