User talk:Tobikili

January 2011
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 Obikili Tochukwu. 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. Zachlipton (talk) 04:07, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Obikili Tochukwu


The article Obikili Tochukwu has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Fairly limited assertions of notability. Appears to be an autobiography. Article lead asserts he is an entrepreneur, but the only references refer to sports accomplishments, neither of which are third party reliable sources.

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. Zachlipton (talk) 04:10, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
