Speedy deletion nomination of Ryan Skinner


A tag has been placed on Ryan Skinner requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Speedy deletion nomination of Ryan Grant Hillman Skinner
Hello Rysking,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Ryan Grant Hillman Skinner 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. —Swpbtalk 12:55, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

You may not be here for the right reason
Your user page (as of this version) states:
 * User:Rysking is a username used for Wikipedia created by and for RGH Skinner or Ryan Grant Hillman Skinner. It was created for the purpose of detailing the professional and personal life of Ryan Skinner.

Wikipedia is not about you. In otherwords, coming to Wikipedia to write about yourself is a bad idea. If you are notable, let others write about you. But this isn't a social site or directory, so coming here to "detail your professional and personal life" is a bad idea. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:57, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

Please stop
...creating articles about yourself. Wikipedia is selective about subjects for articles: WP:AUTHOR and WP:Notability (books) explain the relevant notability standards. Even where notable, as WikiDan61 explains above, writing about yourself is strongly discouraged.

Wikipedia user pages are not like those at social-networking sites. Their use is explained at WP:NOTWEBHOST: "'Wikipedians have their own user pages, but they should be used primarily to present information relevant to working on the encyclopedia. Limited biographical information is allowed, but user pages should not function as personal webpages or be repositories for large amounts of material that is irrelevant to collaborating on Wikipedia. If you are looking to make a personal webpage or blog or to post your résumé, please make use of one of the many free providers on the Internet or any hosting included with your Internet account.'"
