Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to No original research, Neutral point of view, and Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedians with articles.)  Dan D. Ric (talk) 01:13, 2 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Please read Notability and if you wish, reply at Articles for deletion/Mark L. Roberts. Notability on Wikipedia is not subjective. In order to establish notability an article must be verified by reliable, independent sources. That is, books, newspapers, magazines and websites written about the subject by outside sources. Youtube videos created by yourself, or even by your friends about yourself, are not reliable independent sources.


 * Secondly, even if you are notable, it is advised not to write articles about yourself. Thank You. Dan D. Ric (talk) 02:52, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
