Thanks for all your work on this article, however removing tags and inserting non-referenced statements is not constructive. As per WP:V all statements that are challenged must be referenced to reliable sources. The refs you have re-added are webstes where the artist can list themselves in a database, this makes these WP:SPS and not acceptable in Wikipedia. Also edit warring to get your own way will just result in your account being blocked or banned. I would also suggest that you have a read through WP:Sockpuppet while you are. - Ahunt (talk) 13:07, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your help but how do I have this article not be nominated to be deleted. I am trying everything I can to try and have this article stay and i'm beyond frustrated now. please help Steven w. black (talk) 13:17, 17 June 2009 (UTC)


 * That discussion is at Articles for deletion/Philip Michael Jonathan Guiver where you can voice your opinion. Personally though before you wade in there I would suggest that you make sure that you are not operating two different Wikipedia accounts as described at WP:Sockpuppet. - Ahunt (talk) 13:23, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

You're probably going to keep running into the "delete article" wall, for several reasons. Are the art work examples that you're posting under copyright at all (and if not, should they be)? Are you familiar with the guidelines on writing autobiographies and the Conflict of interest policy?

My recommendation would be to create a subpage here, off of your user page. Copy the article here, and then try to convince someone else to post it. Ω (talk) 14:02, 17 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree with the above suggestion. The article will be shortly deleted because it is not notable. The best solution would be to move it to a user page and save it there until the subject becomes notable and someone else writes a biography. You have to consider that thousands of aspiring writers, artists and poets try to use Wikipedia every month to further their own careers by writing autobiographies - it doesn't work and they all get deleted due to policy. If the policy didn't require these be deleted then Wikipedia would be nothing more than a blog and would be of no value as a reference encyclopedia. If you want to promote yourself then start your own website. - Ahunt (talk)
