March 2016
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Leka Vieira has been reverted. Your edit here to Leka Vieira was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIsmfXEcb7E) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 21:58, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for message. I deleted your article because She is clearly notable, but before you try again, I suggest you look at other biographies such as Jessica Ennis-Hill to get an idea of layout, neutral and factual tone and referencing (you don't need the fancy ref templates, just will do, and obviously an initial page need not be as comprehensive as Ennis-Hill's. Again I suggest you start with a draft here rather than throw it straight to the wolves.
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, as defined in the link, or they will be deleted. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to her, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the she claims or interviewing her management. You gave three references, but they were not in-line so we can't tell what fact each is supporting. In any case, one was a personal fan page and one was a blog, so not acceptable anyway. In your note to me you linked two Wikipedia pages that mention her, but you cannot use Wikipedia as a reliable source either
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include:  Finding her passion for sports... becoming the legend we know her as today... From the very first moment Leka stepped onto that mat, she fell in love with the sport and knew it was what she was meant to do... Bringing every ounce of passion and competitiveness with her&mdash;and so on. It's a fan page, not an encyclopaedia article
 * the article was created in a single edit without wikilinks or references, and looks as if was copied from an unknown and possibly copyrighted source. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient. But in any case the copyrighted text is far too promotional to be useful for Wikipedia's purposes, so there would not be any point in your jumping through all the hoops that are required.
 * You have an obvious conflict of interest when editing this article, and you must declare it. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that she is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.
 * I was asked to create a wikipedia page as a birthday surprise for Leka Vieira by her husband.&mdash; Wikipedia is not social media or a source of entertainment for your friends, it's an encyclopaedia
 * I created the user name as her name because i thought that's what I was supposed to do&mdash; You can actually be blocked for impersonating a real person, but I accept that no harm was intended here. You just made a rod for your own back by apparently creating an WP:Autobiography
 * I deleted your user page because you cannot use it to host what is clearly intended to be an article, it will just be treated as promotion. You should create the article as a draft page if you want to work on it
