Welcome

Speedy deletion of Perry Kurtz

[edit]

A tag has been placed on Perry Kurtz, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

About autobiographies

[edit]

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved. 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 Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. ~Eliz81(C) 07:34, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please read our notability guidelines. The burden of proof is on editors to demonstrate the notability of the subjects of articles, through reliable, third party sources, with all factual, cited information indicating significant in-depth coverage (as opposed to aggregating incidental mentions). A cursory search of Google news archives does not contain news articles that fit this category. If you've been profiled (again, more than a passing mention) in magazines or newspapers, providing those citations would be a start. However please remember that you have a serious conflict of interest since Wikipedia is not for promotional purposes and you would be writing an article about yourself, regardless of notability. ~Eliz81(C) 07:55, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
