You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, instead of writing it yourself, as you did at Chloe Stewart. 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.) Thank you. JamesBWatson (talk) 15:51, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Chloe Stewart


The article Chloe Stewart has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * No evidence of notability. Only one reliable source cited, and that one barely mentions her.

While all 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.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. JamesBWatson (talk) 15:51, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Objection to article being considered for deletion
Although I absolutely understand why Wikipedia strongly discourages starting one's own pages, I find it objectionable to have been automatically flagged as not having evidence of notability. I think that it's fair to be automatically wary of anyone who may start their own page. However, I'd like to cite the following examples of my peers who have Wiki pages, all friends whom I respect:

Peter_Lockyer

Deedee Magno

Cliffton Hall (actor)

I am only using these few people as examples. There are other actors on Wikipedia who have equal career credentials and are notable in our field. Having someone else submit your article does not give you more validity.

The reason I started my own article was not out of vanity, rather that over the past 15 years I've had many, many young people, particularly young Asian performers, tell me that they were inspired by watching my work in that documentary, that it gave them some kind of hope. I have people show me threads on discussion boards that still mention it. I've also spent my career working hard to fight for non-traditional casting for the generation of students that I now teach. I'm not an arrogant person by any means whatsoever, it's almost a joke for me to have to say that. It's 20 years later and the best thing I have from being part of an interesting moment in theater history is that I get to share whatever experience I have with my kids.

I can't imagine the task it is to constantly edit and monitor the content of Wikipedia, and I'm sure this seems like a small issue. However it's a little tough to know how to address this when I look at articles that are clearly just my actor friends' bios, which is seriously all fine and dandy, and yet I have an equal professional resume and am being told I have "no notability." I would hate to think that I would not have run into this problem if I had only gone to some lengths to cover up that I was starting my own article.

I sincerely appreciate your time. - Thank you.

Again, I am new here, and I wrote a previous note asking for feedback regarding steps I might take to make the article suitable for publishing. It is with great respect that I say I would be honored to be able to be included in Wikipedia.

Speedy deletion nomination of Chloe Stewart
A tag has been placed on Chloe Stewart requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. -- Jack ?! 01:48, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages. Doing so won't stop the discussion from taking place. You are, however, welcome to comment about the proposed deletion on the appropriate page. Thank you. -- Jack ?! 01:49, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
