[edit] Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but it appears you have written or added to an article about yourself, at Andrew Halliday entrepreneur. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 11:18, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
Please indicate that you have read the above. Wikipedia is not social media to post a profile of yourself, but an encyclopedia, where article subjects must be shown with independent reliable sources to be notable. Autobiographies, while not forbidden, are highly discouraged as a conflict of interest, as people naturally write favorably about themselves. It is highly suggested that you not edit a page about yourself, instead suggesting changes on the article talk page. 331dot (talk) 11:34, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
Yes I have read this. I often meet people who get confused with the footballer by the same name so its help with clarification, while it was initially written by me I would expect others to edit the article going forward.
- Thanks for your reply. While it is unfortunate that you are confused with someone else with the same name, that isn't an issue that can be dealt with on Wikipedia unless you too merit an article per notability guidelines. I would encourage you to review the notability guidelines to see if you indeed merit a page. In short, a person merits a Wikipedia article if "they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." 331dot (talk) 11:41, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
The article Andrew Halliday entrepreneur has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. 331dot (talk) 11:19, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

Regarding Speedy Deletion
Hello, AndyHalliday. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. I'm sorry, but a page you created , Comparethediamond, has been deleted as meeting one or more of the Categories for Speedy Deletion.
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects of articles must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources providing verifiable information. Someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject.
Any deficiencies should be remedied before reposting as they can lead to repeated deletions. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems.
Wikipedia is not a webhost. You may wish to consider alternative outlets.
If you want to try again, please use the Article Wizard or articles for creation to guide you through the creation process.
You can make test edits in your sandbox.
You may find this tool useful for finding sources: Google custom search
Please see Wikipedia:Citing sources . Template:cite has templates you can use in citing your sources. Place the template {{references}} at the bottom of the page, and references cited in the text will appear there. Don't feel discouraged. My first attempts at creating articles were deleted too. YOU CAN ASK FOR HELP AT THE TEAHOUSE

[edit]Wikipedia has many articles in need of improvement. Perhaps you can help.
Some articles need copy editing.
Wikipedia articles need verifiable information from WP:reliable sources
Reliable sources should have inline citations to identify where information came from
We would appreciate help in improving these articles.
- There is more information at Wikipedia:Community_portal Cheers, and happy editing. --Dlohcierekim (talk) 11:26, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Andrew Halliday (entrepreneur)
[edit]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 Andrew Halliday (entrepreneur), requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
- It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
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.
