Speedy deletion nomination of Sunny Norton


A tag has been placed on Sunny Norton 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Mo ainm ~Talk  10:53, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

COI
Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Mo ainm ~Talk  11:12, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Your deleted article
Hello there, I deleted your page and wanted to explain why. There are a couple of problems with the page, one being that it does not assert notability - in particular, the degree of notability we ask of articles on living people. If you look at the list at that link you will see what needs to be asserted of a creative professional (see here) before Wikipedia deems them notable. If the subject does indeed meet the criteria, you need to state this more clearly.

However the second problem is around your conflict of interest. I assume from your username that you (the author) are also the subject of this article. There's an article on autobiography here and as you'll see it is strongly discouraged. The thinking is that if any person is sufficiently notable, then they will have been noticed! In other words there will be sufficient other people around to draft a more objective article with no conflict of interest. Have a look in particular at this section of the guideline and it will make it clear that a self-authored article by the article's subject stands a very poor chance of survival here. In particular, this article was phrased as an advertisement and not as an encyclopaedia entry - a common problem with self-penned articles! It was for this reason that the article was deleted.

I hope this does not feel too discouraging, though I realise it is not nice to have any article deleted, still less one about oneself! It can feel a very personal blow and that is not our intention. If you would like to discuss your options further (limited though they are....) please reply here. I will be watching your talk page and will see you have replied.
