Proposed deletion of Stephen Timms - Copywriter


The article Stephen Timms - Copywriter has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners or ask at Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Vipinhari ||  talk  12:58, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Stephen Timms - Copywriter. Please use the template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you.

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, instead of writing it yourself, as you did at Stephen Timms - Copywriter. 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. JamesBWatson (talk) 21:52, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Stephen Timms - Copywriter, to Wikipedia as doing so is not in accordance with our policies. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article; you might also consider using the Article Wizard. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. The page was clearly self-promotion, which is inconsistent with Wikipedia policy, and unsuitable for an article in an encyclopaedia. In addition there was no indication whatever of notability of the subject of the article. Re-creating an article which has been deleted without addressing the issues which led to deletion is not constructive. JamesBWatson (talk) 21:57, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
