User talk:Ndl1993

Welcome!
Hello, Ndl1993, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Richard Brooker (Sound Designer), may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Speedy deletion nomination of Richard Brooker (Sound Designer)


A tag has been placed on Richard Brooker (Sound Designer), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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 deleted 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. CUPIDICAE💕 15:46, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, Ndl1993, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited appears to be an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. We require individuals to meet Wikipedia's definition of a notable person to accept articles about them.

The page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page. If your contributions to an existing article about yourself are undone and you wish to add to it, please propose the changes on its talk page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Help requested 17:12, 26 April 2022

 * Hi Jimfbleak, thank you for your help and advice.
 * The article I created is not about myself, but a notable west end sound designer.
 * I can understand how it looks and have read about improving it. I'd love to get the page back to improve it. Thank you! ~

Based on notices from and Cupidicae above, may I kindly ask you please state your relation to Mr. Brooks if any? Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 17:33, 26 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi, I am a head of sound working on musical theatre shows, currently Dreamgirls the musical UK Tour, which Mr. Brooker is the Sound Designer. No other relation than a professional one. Thanks  Ndl1993 (talk) 18:17, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

Comments
, thanks for ping

Ndl1993, if you have a personal or professional relationship, you have an obvious conflict of interest, please don't write about your friends or colleagues. If you do so, you must post on the article talk page.

Please also read the guidance below:
 * When you write about a person, you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that they meet the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the person or an associated organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the person claims or interviewing them. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls.
 * Your text was almost entirely unsourced, and the few "refs" you did give were promos for the shows rather than independent third-party sources
 * You seem to have basically posted his CV, it's not at all clear to me how he meets the notability criteria I've linked above, nothing about awards or recognition, just endless lists of everything he's ever done and pointless lists of interviews. We aren't interested in what he says about himself. But since you haven't sourced anything to proper references it's immaterial anyway


 * You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews. It's all "Richard did..." which is more FaceBook than an encyclopaedia article, and seems intended just to promote his career and the shows
 * There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections. That's especially when they are spamlinks to the shows
 * You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.
 * Your image at least is a copyright violation taken from his website, so I've nominated that for deletion. I didn't check the text, although there were some characteristics of copied work, such as a huge chunk of text added in a single edit, lack of refs and no wikilinks, not even sound designer

Not a reason for deletion, but we use normal sentence case capitalisation here, including for headings and article titles. Note that sound design musical theatre pandemic etc] are not proper nouns.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  08:17, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
