 * I would suggest that you draft out your article at your sandbox and submit you draft to Articles for Creation. An administrator will review your article and it will either be accepted and will be moved to the article mainspace or be declined and an administrator will explain why. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions. Thanks. Pkbwcgs (talk) 20:49, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

Thank you! I did draft the article in the sandbox and submit the draft for review, so maybe I'm already on the right track! While this is Mark's Wikipedia account, I am actually the digital content producer at KMOX who created the article. Will that help with the conflict of interest issue? Or should I create my own account and write the article about Mark?


 * Writing an autobiography on Wikipedia is strongly discouraged because the inherent conflict of interest makes it very difficult to write about oneself from a neutral point of view. A Wikipedia article needs to summarize what reliable sources that are independent of the subject have reported about it. A quick Google News search found few results for Mark Reardon outside CBS St. Louis, which is affiliated with KMOX St. Louis and probably should not be considered independent (I assume the KMOX Mark Reardon is not the same person as the former St. Augustine Prep football coach). Thus I don't think Reardon is notable enough for an encyclopedia article. See also WP:Your first article for more advice on writing articles and on the requirements.
