Readers need to be able to WP:Verify that it's the truth, and in particular WP:Biographies of living persons must be scrupulously well sourced. I strongly suggest that you and your friend not edit articles about yourselves: as it will be extremely difficult for you to write objectively. Wait for someone not connected with you to write about you: if you're notable, then they surely will. Thanks, Altered Walter (talk) 19:21, 7 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
The content of the article was cited directly from a biography written by an author other than myself. My friend created the page, and I edited it to make sure the information was correct gramatically / as well as the sources were complete. I had thought that as long as you were not writing an autobiography, you could edit the information on your page. Is this not so?

There are mentions of media references but no citations provided. My own searching only found one article in Performer Magazine, which I am not sure is considered a reliable source. I've asked for some help on the reliable source noticeboard. The answers there may determine if this article survives or is nominated for deletion.
Addressing the point that your friend wrote your bio for you... while that technically isn't an autobiography (you didn't write it yourself), it's a strong conflict of interest (someone with whom you have a close personal and/or professional connection did). That's still a strong indication of bias and/or promotional intent. If what you've done in your life is truly notable, then someone else who is considered a reliable source and intellectually independent of you will write about you at some point. --Drm310 (talk) 06:34, 28 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
