Hi. I've nominated Cebu Bus Rapid Transit System, an article you worked on, for consideration to appear on the Main Page as part of Did you know. You can see the hook for the article here, where you can improve it if you see fit. BabbaQ (talk) 14:13, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

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 Nigel Paul C. Villarete. 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) 09:18, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Nigel Paul C. Villarete


The article Nigel Paul C. Villarete 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. Zachlipton (talk) 09:20, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you for adding references to the Nigel Paul C. Villarete. Based on these additions, I have removed the proposal for deletion. That said, notability rests on the ability to present significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. I want to encourage you to focus your efforts on adding references to the article to ensure that it is not deleted due to a lack of notability. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Best regards,  Cind. amuse  11:14, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
