Hello, MTKKirkcaldie,

Did you intend to tag this article you created for deletion? I can take care of that for you if that is what you wanted since you are the page creator. Thanks. Liz Read! Talk! 19:32, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi Liz - yes I did intend to ask for deletion, the subject is a friend of mine and we agreed that it would be better to wait until he was more established to propose a Wikipedia entry. If you could go ahead and delete it I'd be grateful. Thank you for checking! Cheers, Matt. MTKKirkcaldie (talk) 22:13, 29 January 2022 (UTC)


 * That's a very mature decision to make. Since the subject has no control over an article on them, and is not supposed to edit it, it's not always the best idea to have an article on oneself on Wikipedia, the encyclopedia "that anyone can edit". I wish you both good luck!
 * If you ever have questions in the future about notability or article creation, I encourage you to visit the Teahouse where experienced editors can offer you advice and support. You might check in there down the road when you think an article would be a better idea. Liz Read! Talk! 23:28, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Thank you, much appreciated! I originated the idea of proposing the page but when I discussed it with him he wasn't really comfortable with the idea, so I'd rather leave it be and let history do the rest. Thanks for your work on Wikipedia, although I am a pretty rigorous academic in my field, I am generally highly impressed with the quality and standard of entries on topics I know about, and I know that's down to the diligent curation work you do.
