User talk:Saifbrand

Welcome
Hello, Saifbrand, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you created was Mohd abdul saif, which appears to be an article about yourself. This is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.

The page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

If you need help, check out Questions, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Blythwood (talk) 17:32, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Mohd abdul saif
Hello Saifbrand,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Mohd abdul saif for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

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. Blythwood (talk) 17:40, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Notability of Mohd abdul saif
The article Mohd abdul saif has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for this specific type of article, you may want to check out our criterion for biographies. JohnCD (talk) 19:59, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not for writing about yourself
Mr Sauf, welcome to Wikipedia, but it is not a place like Facebook or LinkedIn for people to write about themselves or podt their CVs. It is a quite different sort of site, a project to build an encyclopedia, so it is selective about subjects for articles, and writing about oneself is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at Wikipedia is not about YOU and Autobiography.

The links in the Welcome message at the top of this page will tell you more about Wikipedia. JohnCD (talk) 20:00, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
