Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Near-death experience. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. — Paleo Neonate  – 23:38, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Explanation
Hello again. I noticed the note on your user page. The sandbox page you created was considered a WP:POVFORK for Wikipedia (there already is an existing article on the topic). The external link you added to the NDE article appeared to be promotional as well. Wikipedia articles cannot contain original research (WP:OR) and should rely on reliable sources (ideally secondary or tertiary, not primary, WP:RS). As such they should represent the mainstream scholarly perspective on topics they cover (WP:ABIAS). User accounts cannot be deleted, although they can be blocked (there is no need to do that unless you were doing persistent distruptive editing). You can decide to abandon the account and no longer use it, however. Some editors also use the retired template when they leave the project. However, you may be able to edit constructively on Wikipedia in relation to topics you are less invested in; or even on the same topic as long as you understand the importance of reliable sources.
