The article Mary Katharine Duffie, Ph.D. has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Written like an advertisement

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on |the article's talk page.

 * Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you will continue to contribute to the site. However, writing an article about yourself is not a good idea - see WP:PROUD for more info. Wikipedia also has guidelines about notability. Don't be offended or surprised if the article is removed - that's just how it works here. Best - James Cage (talk) 15:45, 23 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Realising you are new to Wiki, there are many of us who are happy to assist and give advice should you request it. There are groups which deal with specific fields of interest that are useful in this regard. For instance I have specific interests in New Zealand, Automobiles, and Biographies and belong to those groups for that reason.


 * As pointed out by others, articles about yourself or those you have a direct personal interest in can bring you into conflict with some of the underlying rules such as WP:COI. I acknowledge that this can be discouraging as some people make fairly harsh comments. As James Cage has commented above, I hope this won't put you off contributing.
