Speedy deletion nomination of Curtis Princewill


A tag has been placed on Curtis Princewill 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, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organised event, 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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, you can place a request here. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:14, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not for writing about yourself
Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, but it is not a place like Myspace or Facebook for people to write about themselves. It is a different sort of site, a project to build an encyclopedia, so it is selective about subjects for articles, and writing about oneself is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at Wikipedia is not about YOU and Autobiography. The links in the Welcome message at the top of this page will tell you more about Wikipedia. Harry the Dog WOOF  13:37, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi Oluwa, I saw your response on the article's talk page. Tacking onto what Harry said above, while your friend may be important to you, Wikipedia wants articles written about notable people. It's not clear from your article what makes the subject notable. He seems like a random person like you or me. For more info about what makes people notable by Wikipedia's standards, please see Notability (people). Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:29, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi Cyphoidbomb, the article was an autobiography. He said so in his first edit to the TP. He then reverted that afer I posted the notice above. Also his username is the same as his Twitter handle.


 * OluwaCurtis, do not create the article a third time or you risk being blocked from editing because your account is being used only to promote yourself. Harry the Dog WOOF  15:39, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Request for usurpation
Hello, OluwaCurtis. A request has been made via Changing username (or SRUC) to usurp, or "take over", your username because another user would like to use it to edit. The changing username guideline allows a username that is not being actively used to be usurped if the user is given an opportunity to object and does not do so.

If you do not object to being renamed to a new username in order for another user to use the name you currently have, please log in and post a reply here saying so (you may also tell us what username you would like to be renamed to, or we will provide you with a generic one).

If you do nothing : the request may be filled shortly, and your account will be moved to a generic username. You may request that it be moved to a new username of your choice at any time.

If you object to being renamed : please log in and make an edit to this page clearly stating that you object to usurpation. Any objection on your part will prevent usurpation.

Please note that even if your current username is usurped, you can still edit and your data will not be lost; your preferences, watchlist, and other user settings will be transferred to a new username.

Thank you for your time. BangVng (talk) 03:32, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
