Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article, or a draft for a Wikipedia article, about yourself, at Draft:RustyElastic45. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please 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 or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's 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 the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 09:44, 11 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Look, This isnt any about me article, it is about my youtube channel, and therefore I was editing it when it got deleted, Making me lose hope with wikipedias staff like it happened with many sites such as fandom, too,
 * I was improving it while it got deleted. but i have messaged the deleter and requested him to undeleted or restore it if possible, Thank You RustyElastic (talk) 03:03, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
 * We don't have a "staff". Just volunteer editors.  There isn't much of a difference between you writing about yourself and your YouTube channel- and you wrote "RustyElastic45, Formerly SurvivalWorld and ElasticEther44, is a new youtuber" so it sounds like it's about you. In any event, Wikipedia is not a place to merely tell about something, it is a place to summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about it, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of notability- be it a notable person or notable web content. 331dot (talk) 07:33, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

331dotThanks. RustyElastic, You have an obvious conflict of interest, please don't write about yourself, your friends or relatives and read the guidance below:
 * When you write about a person, you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that they meet the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the person or an associated organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the person claims or interviewing them. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls.
 * You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.
 * There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
 * You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

This isn't social media, you can't just write what you like. What you posted was lacking references to independent third-party sources, and had absolutely nothing to suggest that you meet our notability criteria.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  10:27, 12 July 2022 (UTC)


 * A Bit Confusing, But I believe that The Problem was, I added the link outside the References thing, and by independent verifiable sources, you mean I should have some website including the things about the article to sort of prove it or to add reference or whatever? Because I can, Or if youtubers cannot create their own articles, maybe there are other places I can do, (But I still consider it unfair to have my article deleted while I was editing it) RustyElastic (talk) 07:28, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
