Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (September 12)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This draft appears to be a long personal reflection, has no references, and is not in the style of an encyclopedic draft. If it is meant to be a user page draft, it may be moved to user space. If it is meant to be an encyclopedic draft, it is not written like an encyclopedic draft and is about a non-notable person.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:Redtds/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello! Redtds, I noticed your article was declined at Articles for Creation, and that can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Robert McClenon (talk) 17:45, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your Goals in Wikipedia

It appears that your objective is to have articles on yourself and the members of your immediate family accepted as Wikipedia articles. I have to discourage you from that objective. Please read the conflict of interest policy and the notability policy. You haven't shown that you or your family members are notable in the peculiar Wikipedia sense. Even if they are, you are probably not neutral and will not write about them neutrally. If you want advice about getting these articles accepted, I suggest that you ask at the Teahouse, where you will get friendly advice that will almost certainly agree with my advice that Wikipedia is not how to publicize your family.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Redtds

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:Redtds, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

My first attempt at writing a wikipage was deleted today because I did not know the guidelines, policies and rules for writing and publishing pages.

I spent a number of years creating the document.

Could you put me in touch with the delete-administrator?

I would like to obtain the document to preserve its content, and will not repost.

HurricanJava I have not followed the guidelines. I am not a writer, just a programmer. My page was speedy-deleted. The page information was the original copy. Can I have the text of the page emailed to me.

I must read and abide by the policy and guidelines. So sorry for putting you through my violations.

Hello Redtds -- Thanks for your message on my talk page. I have just e-mailed you the deleted content for your archives. However I must warn you that writing biographies of family members (either living or dead) on Wikipedia is very strongly discouraged, and that userspace is not a place for recording research into your family. Generally people can be very meritorious individuals in their local community but only very rarely are suitable for a biography on Wikipedia.
