Hello, Kluethke. I am assuming that editor, and author "Keith Adam Luethke" are the same person and that you intended the page mentioned below as a Userspace draft of an article. You are allowed to put basic info about yourself on your wp:Userpages, but Wikipedia may not be used for self-promotion. Please see the relevant policy at wp:NOT. If I you do intend to write an article about  yourself, please keep reading!

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 User:Kluethke/Keith Adam Luethke. 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. Regards, 220.101 User talk:220.101.28.25\ 05:35, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
