Speedy deletion nomination of Mahmoud Higazy


A tag has been placed on Mahmoud Higazy requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. JamesG5 (talk) 06:42, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Information.svg Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Mahmoud Higazy. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Promotion and notability
I noted your comment contesting the deletion of Mahmoud Higazy This page should not be speedily deleted because... (it is a cv and the work of a scientific researcher anf it will help many student to know about him). Please note in addition to the WP:AUTOBIO note I posted above, what you're describing is not Wikipedia's purpose. Take a look at What Wikipedia is not, specifically WP:PROMO and WP:NOTSOCIALNETWORK for more on why sharing info about yourself is not appropriate. Additionally, any page here must meet WP:NOTABILITY and that must be backed up by reliable sources. JamesG5 (talk) 06:55, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not for writing about yourself
Dr Higazy, welcome to Wikipedia, but it is not a place like Facebook or LinkedIn for people to write about themselves or post their CVs. It is a quite different sort of site, a project to build an encyclopedia, so it is selective about subjects for articles (see also WP:PROF), and writing about oneself is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at Wikipedia is not about YOU and Autobiography.

Wikipedia user pages are not like those at social-networking sites. Their use is explained at WP:NOTWEBHOST: "'Wikipedians have their own user pages, but they should be used primarily to present information relevant to working on the encyclopedia. Limited biographical information is allowed, but user pages should not function as personal webpages or be repositories for large amounts of material that is irrelevant to collaborating on Wikipedia. If you are looking to make a personal webpage or blog or to post your résumé, please make use of one of the many free providers on the Internet or any hosting included with your Internet account.'" You can find out more about Wikipedia at the WP:Welcome page and the WP:Introduction. JohnCD (talk) 10:05, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
