September 2014
Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Westley West. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you. --Richard Yin (talk) 17:42, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Westley West
Hello Pastwest,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Westley West for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. --Richard Yin (talk) 17:42, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

Advice
Read WP:BIO about notability for people, and WP:RS about the reliable independent sources needed to prove it. Also, read WP:AUTOBIO. It's not forbidden, but it is very strongly advised against. Not everybody gets an article here - in fact the vast majority don't. Peridon (talk) 19:47, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
