Hi, I notice you've been making a lot of changes to this article. I'm assuming that you are a different Louis Torres than the one covered by the existing article -- is that accurate? If so, you should take a look at Wikipedia's inclusion criterion on notability, and its policy on conflicts of interest.

In a nutshell: if you are demonstrably notable enough for a Wikipedia article, then we should add a note at the top of the Louis Torres article, indicating that there's someone else people might get confused with. Beyond that, it's generally not permitted for people to write articles about themselves; you could try, but be prepared for a lot of resistance. But if you do, the standard thing to do would be to name your article something like Louis Torres (photographer), and link to it from the existing one. Another possibility would be renaming the existing one to something like Louis Torres (pastor), and making "disambiguation page" at Louis Torres that links to both, with a brief description of each.

Hope this helps, and happy editing! -Pete (talk) 19:19, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
