Help me!
Converted to "admin help" for more specific guidance ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:00, 2 October 2019 (UTC) My article is about a living person. All information was sources from her websites. Why am I being sited for speedy deletion?

Please help me with...

 * While you're waiting for a proper answer, perhaps from an administrator who can additionally explain why the draft was promotional, please have a look at WP:42 and -- as you have already correctly pointed out -- WP:BLPSELFPUB:


 * There are living persons who publish material about themselves, such as through press releases or personal websites. Such material may be used as a source only if:
 *  the article is not based primarily on such sources.


 * ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:59, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
 * ToBeFree is right. The page was using only primary sources, and was written as a promotional puff piece. This article needs a fundamental re-write to be on Wikipedia. Wikipedia articles need to present their subjects in a neutral, unbiased way, in an encyclopedic tone. I note that you say "my article is about a living person", which actually makes the sourcing standards even higher than normal (see WP:BLP). You need to rewrite the article using reliable, secondary sources. Captain Eek  Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 01:40, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
 * As others have said, the article was speedy deleted mostly due to sourcing concerns. Please read Your first article for some helpful advice on writing an article.  ~  ONUnicorn (Talk&#124;Contribs) problem solving 18:13, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello, NSDurand. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page User:NSDurand/sandbox, you may have a conflict of interest (COI).

We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

Repeated recreation
Hello! I am just curious why you keep recreating the article in your sandbox? It has been deleted multiple times by administrators. Admins on Wikipedia are highly qualified editors who have an extremely good grasp on what belongs here and what does not. They also have the ability to block users who are repeatedly disruptive.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 00:03, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at User:NSDurand/sandbox, you may be blocked from editing. Please stop recreating the exact same promotional article. GPL93 (talk) 16:13, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
