Speedy deletion nomination of User:Sagetay/sandbox


A tag has been placed on User:Sagetay/sandbox, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.
 * It appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free Web hosting service. (See section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

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 "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 deleted 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Hello, Sagetay, and welcome to Wikipedia. I see that all that you have managed so far is to create a draft on Theodore Albright in your personal sandbox, which then got deleted as promotional.

This must be disheartening, but I'm afraid it is pretty normal for people who join Wikipedia and immediately plunge into the most difficult task there is for a newcomer: creating a new article. It is like buying a violin, and immediately arranging a public concert; or starting a course on building, and immediately starting to build a house: you don't even know at that point what are the things that you need to pay attention to.

For this reason, I always advise new editors to spend a few weeks or months learning how Wikipedia works by making small improvements to some of our six million existing articles before they even try creating a new article. Then, when they feel ready, I advise them to read your first article, and also notability and WP:BACKWARD.

In any case, you would start creating an article about him by finding sources, because if you cannot find adequate sources, you will know that he does not meet Wikipedia's criteria for notability, and there is no point in spending any more time on an article about him. Here are some links to help you:.

There is another point to make: when somebody joins Wikipedia and immediately starts creating an article about a person, company or event, this is very often because they are connected with that person, company or event, and have the utterly, utterly, wrong idea that Wikipedia is a place to tell the world about them (or "promote" them). So, I am moved to ask: are you connected with Albright? If you are, that does not prevent you from trying to write an article, but it makes it even harder for you. Please read about editing with a conflict of interest, and remember that Wikipedia is not interested in anything that you know, believe, or think about him, unless that information is corroborated by a reliable published source, and preferably a source completely unconnected with him. If you are not only connected with Albright, but in any way paid on his behalf (including being an unpaid intern) then you must make a formal declaration of this status: see paid editing. What prompted this post, of course, is the rather strange email you sent me. I'm not sure why you chose me, or what the "nature of my work is" that you like, but I am not interested in taking any editors "under my wing". I have given you a long answer here, but I urge you to bring any further questions to the Teahouse, where a variety of Teahouse hosts will see them and may answer them, rather than relying on replies from me.

You might like to start the next part of your career as a Wikipedia editor with Help:Introduction.
