Speedy deletion nomination of Thomas Chmielewski
A tag has been placed on Thomas Chmielewski 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 hangon 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

July 2010
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Thomas Chmielewski, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. The reverted edit can be found here. Thank you. Whisky drinker &#124;  HJ's sock   23:16, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I've reverted User:Whisky drinker's revert -- this is getting complicated! -- because you've now added enough to support a credible claim to notability and csd no longer applies. But, User:Whisky drinker's caution still stands -- as the creator of the page you are not allowed to remove a csd tag: another user can do so, but, as the notice clearly explains, if you contest the tag you must do so by using.


 * Incidentally, I've now added a BLP tag to the page. Wikipedia has a strict policy requiring that biographies of living persons include sufficient references to verify statements in the biography. As a separate matter, autobiographies (as this appears to be) are generally discouraged; to avoid difficulties, please try to ensure that the article is written from a neutral POV, Jimmy Pitt   talk  23:57, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Thomas Chmielewski


The article Thomas Chmielewski has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Not notable, "UBC Thunderbirds" are a university team, any claim to being a professional is doubtful.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Hairhorn (talk) 01:53, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Autobiographies
You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, instead of writing it yourself. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to No original research, Neutral point of view, and Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. Hairhorn (talk) 01:54, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
