Your recently-created userpage does not comply with Wikipedia's rules and conventions. Wikipedia is not for use as a web host and your userpage is to tell the community a little about yourself and how you intend to contribute to the encyclopedia. Content should not resemble an article. As such, the page is liable to deletion. You could rewrite the page yourself more in keeping with conventions or request deletion by add{{Db-g7}} to the top of the page which will request deletion on your behalf. Thank you.

Autobiographies

If you are considering Writing an autobiographical article, this is discouraged on Wikipedia. Please see WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY for more information and also this page for why this is not always a good idea. Eagleash (talk) 19:45, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

Contested deletion

This page should not be speedily deleted because... (I made an unintentional mistake. I am merely trying to create a Wikipedia page so I am in compliance with my alma mater El Modena High School. I am a Notable Alumni. Please work with me so I can properly create the page without being in violation.

Please do not create an autobiography; follow the links above for more information. Wikipedia reports on what has been written about a subject in independent reliable sources and has little, if any, interest in what a subject has to say about themselves. If the subject is truly notable in the Wikipedia sense (see that page for more information) an editor without a connection will write an article in due course supported by referencing to reliable sources. (See link above and WP:REFB for how to add sources). Wikipedia does not exist as a site where individuals can create a 'profile' about themselves in the manner of Facebook or other social media. In the event that you do wish to create an article about a notable subject at some future date, please see the links to writing your first article as above and use the article wizard to create a draft.

PLease clarify what you mean by 'in compliance with my alma mater'. (Please remember to sign your posts on talk pages by typing four keyboard tildes like this: ~~~~. Or, you can use the [ reply ] button, which automatically signs posts.) Thank you. Eagleash (talk) 04:12, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
