Speedy deletion nomination of Warren Bird
A tag has been placed on Warren Bird, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Moreover, please add more verifiable sources, not only 3rd party sources. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Please note that the way Wikipedia is set up, placeholders are basically useless, and as such are deleted on sight. Once you have your third-party reliable material attesting notability, you may recreate the article at any moment.  Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 01:17, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Hey there
I saw you created Warren Bird. Just so you know, its much better to add all your text at the beginning or at least enough so that other editors can tell what the article is about. Otherwise, the article will probably be deleted fairly quickly. Thanks, and good luck :)  Nolelover   Talk · Contribs  01:20, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Please do not write an article about yourself, as you did at Warren Bird. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline  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.) 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.

I am contracted by Warren Bird to create a page about himself. He has written over 20+ books on the topic of church and leadership (www.warrenbird.com). Since there was no wikipedia entry regarding him and his work, we decided it was a good idea to put a presence on wikipedia concerning his work and authorship. I understand the content and need for neutrality in an article. Thanks Warrenbi (talk) 19:59, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Deleted Warren Bird
Hi, I deleted the article Warren Bird on the basis that it was unambiguously promotional and would need to be fundamentally rewritten to become encyclopedic. Please also, read our guidelines with respect to conflicts of interest. Contributors who repeatedly and severely breach this policy may to be blocked indefinitely from editing.

I suggest a more successful strategy would be to write a concise (one or two short paragraphs) entry clearly stating the importance or significance of the subject. This entry should demonstrate that the subject meets our notability guidelines. Over time, if the subject genuinely is notable and worthy of an entry, others will develop the article naturally.
