Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Wikipedia is not a place to advertise yourself. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:39, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedily deleted because... (your reason here) --Samuel T. Johnson (talk) 14:44, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

Samuel Timi Johnson has become a household name in his home state Bayelsa State, Nigeria. In a country like Nigeria where we have only a few celebrity chefs, Samuel Johnson's information on wikipedia will be very important to inspire a new generation of quality chefs and invite a culture of hygene and profesionalism in the Nigeria-cum African chef industry.


 * A few questions:
 * 1. Are you Samuel Johnson?
 * 2a. If you are Samuel Johnson, then read WP:AUTO- Wikipedia is not a place for creating autobiographies.
 * 2b. If you're not Samuel Johnson, then your username is misleading, as it implies you are them. Also, if you are planning to create an article, you should use either your sandbox, User talk:Samuel Johnson/sandbox, or a draftspace, for example, Draft: Samuel T. Johnson or Draft:Samuel Johnson.
 * 3. Either way, your user page is a place for Wikipedia-related information, and possibly a small amount of biographical information, see WP:UPNOT for what is not acceptable. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:52, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not for writing about yourself
Welcome to Wikipedia, but it is not a place like Facebook or LinkedIn for people to write about themselves. 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.

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.'" The links in the Welcome message at the top of this page will tell you more about Wikipedia. JohnCD (talk) 15:14, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
