User talk:TrakzVa

Welcome!
Hello, TrakzVa, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Trakz, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type help me on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Proposed deletion of Trakz


The article Trakz has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the 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 seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Passengerpigeon (talk) 08:57, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Trakz. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Hi, thanks for message. I deleted your article because
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, or they will be deleted. I can't see how he meets the notability criteria for music, even if you can reference what you have written to genuine independent sources. Note that an interview, if it's giving opinions rather than facts, isn't necessarily a reliable source.
 * Reliable references should be put in line like this . A   at the end of the article will then generate a list
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. One example of an unsourced claim presented as fact is: Trakz was a passionate and dedicated student , but there are others. Much of it is gossip or him talking about himself, rather than factual information such as record sales, awards won, chart listings.
 * The article was created in a single edit without wikilinks or references, and looks as if was copied from an unknown and possibly copyrighted source. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

I can restore the page in a sandbox for you to improve, but perhaps you could explain how he is notable and suggest reliable sources first  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  12:52, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
