Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Ruy (talk) 09:40, 29 September 2023 (UTC)



Hello, R.W. Dove. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. I'm sorry, but a page you created User:R.W. Dove has been deleted as meeting one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects of articles must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources which are unconnected with the subject  and which provide verifiable information. Someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. Please see WP:CORP for subjects that are groups or companies or organizations. Please see WP:ANYBIO for subjects who are people. Please see Common sourcing mistakes (notability). The Wikipedia Adventure is a useful tutorial.

Also, encyclopedia articles must be neutral in tone and not use language that promotes or advocates for a subject, or tries to cast the subject in a favorable light. Please see Information on content and common pitfalls to avoid here and here. Sometimes creators of promotional/advocational content are bewildered that it is considered such. If one has been trained to write such content, or if one has spent some time writing such content, one may simply be blind to non-neutral phrases or styles.

A common assumption is that the prohibition against promotional editing applies only to businesses or organizations. Anything can be promoted, including a person, a non-commercial organization, a point of view, etc.

CV's/resumé's are by their nature promotional. Writing about oneself or any connected subject is discouraged as the connection can make objectivity difficult. Information on avoiding advocational content and common pitfalls is  here and here, however be aware that these are not exhaustive.

New article creation can be difficult, but the Article Wizard can help you. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems. You can seek help IRC chat, as well as WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk Sometimes it is better to first gain experience by fixing and helping maintain existing articles. Community portal/Opentask contains links to things that badly need doing, if you are so inclined.

User pages and User talk pages are intended only to assist collegiality among users. They are not to be used as a soapbox for writings not connected with the editorial process on Wikipedia. While we appreciate that you enjoy using Wikipedia, please note that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and Nor are user pages intended to host articles, CV's/resumés or lengthy autobiographies. Wikipedia is not a promotional venue or a place to post ads. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia ~ subjects of articles must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources which are unconnected with the subject and which provide verifiable information. For article creation, Please use WP:AfC and/or request help at the WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk. You can also seek help via IRC chat.

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedily deleted because... (THIS IS MY AUTHOR'S PAGE) --R.W. Dove (talk) 10:33, 29 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. We do not have "author's pages." We are not GoodReads or Amazon. Please read the deletion notice I left you. Thanks --  Deepfriedokra (talk) 12:48, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
 * okay
 * But why is wikipage so hard to edit? R.W. Dove (talk) 13:28, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
 * As I mention in my deletion notice, new article creation can be very hard. You might want to read that deletion notice.   has blocked you for self promotion. You will not be unblocked to write about yourself. You will need to describe what constructive edits you would make.  You can request unblocking by placing the following on your talk page at the bottom, if you have a purpose other than self promotion. thanks.


 * -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 13:45, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I wanna write create new article about notoriety
 * Did you accept that here? R.W. Dove (talk) 18:49, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
 * It is too late to follow the instructions to create a draft via WP:AFC. So that question is likely moot. You will need to follow the instructions for unblocking I left above. You can discuss matters with the reviewing admin. --  Deepfriedokra (talk) 19:16, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
