 * even if about yourself, such a page here is not a good idea. first of all, WP is not a social networking site--subjects are qualified for articles when they are notable enough to be included in an encyclopedia, as shown by references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or Facebook or other such sites.   Second, such jokes -- which are not new -- I've been seeing them here for many years now -- give a confusing impression, because pages like this are also contributed by people who do want to make fun of the person involved, sometimes in friendly humor, sometimes in actual malice. There's no way we here can tell the difference. The harm such a page can do if malicious is so great that the only possible fair way to us proceed is for us to  remove them immediately.

In regards to your comments at Talk:Lilyphobia
Since the article has been deleted, I'll respond to your comments here. To start, you'll have to understand we have no real means to prove you are the person whom the article is about, so we have to consider it an attempt to disparage another person. In any case, there were still other problems with your created article: If you have any other questions, please feel free to respond either here or on my talk page (just click the talk link on my signature to be sent over there).  elektrik SHOOS  (talk) 02:27, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * If you are the person who it's about, it may also be an attempt to promote yourself. Wikipedia does not allow self-promotion. In addition, Wikipedia has a guideline regarding users with a potential conflict of interest, which all editors should follow.
 * All created articles, including those about blogs or internet phenomena, are subject to notability guidelines and must meet those criteria to allow the article to exist. The wording is intentionally vague to allow for specifics to be decided on a case-by-case basis, but the general idea is clear: there must be multiple independent reliable sources to establish notability of a subject. Saying the phrase is becoming "fairly popular" on Twitter isn't enough: you must provide sources to back it up, preferably those published by an established news outlet.
