User talk:RodneyJones314

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:RodneyJones314, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be blatant advertising which only promotes or publicises a company, product, group or service, and which is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages; user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy deletion candidate). Doing so will take you to your user talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also edit this page directly to give your reasons, 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 help make it encyclopedic. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. &#124; Uncle Milty  &#124;  talk  &#124;  12:01, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not "unambiguously promotional", because it simply provides brief biographical information that may assist other editors. I do not understand which entity is supposedly being promoted here. --RodneyJones314 (talk) 14:43, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi RodneyJones314. I am the administrator who deleted your user page.  I'm sorry it was necessary, and I'm sure it is annoying to you.  The reason I deleted it was because it read like a resume, or a short biographical sketch promoting a speaker at a seminar.  It is fine to state some information about yourself, but it would be best if you state it simply, in first party language, such as "I hold a BSc(Eng) degree in chemical engineering from the University of the Witwatersrand" and remove the promotional language such as all the awards, etc.  Your user page should be related to your Wikipedia editing, and shouldn't read as something used to promote your career.  I hope that is helpful, and I hope you enjoy editing here.  All the best,   78.26   (spin me / revolutions) 16:49, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
