Welcome
Hi Purple. You're going to need references to independent sources for the article you've created. This is how notability is established and articles are verified. So a few articles from reliable sources talking substantively about the subject will go a long way toward preventing the articles deletion. Good luck. Let me know if you have any questions. Here's a welcome template with some links you may or may not find useful. Let me know if I can be of any help. And remember to sign your posts with four tildes.

Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted (if it hasn't already).

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on. Again, welcome! ChildofMidnight (talk) 05:56, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved. 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.

 * You could also post the sources and information in your userspace and then ask for help. That might be a good way to go about getting the article written in a neutral way. You need to establish the subject is notable though, with substantial coverage from independent sources (books, articles, magazines etc.) ChildofMidnight (talk) 00:51, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
