User talk:Diego Paul Garzon

Welcome!

Hello, Diego Paul Garzon, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Aves (novel), may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Proposed deletion of Aves (novel)

The article Aves (novel) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

non notable noel. article written, apparently, by author of novel. .

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Help request

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

How can I do a page for my own books? - How to delete the name USER in the name of my page?

I have moved this down,because new contributions to talk pages should go at the bottom, to keep the conversation in order.

Welcome to Wikipedia, but I think you may not have understood what sort of site it is. That is not your fault, because we do not explain very well to new users, but this is not a social-networking site like Facebook or LinkedIn for people to write about themselves. In writing about yourself or your book you have, from Wikipedia's point of view, a WP:Conflict of interest, and you should read that page and the Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, and Wikipedia:Autobiography.

Editing with a COI is discouraged but not forbidden; you should not post articles directly, but may submit drafts for review by uninvolved users. Your article about yourself is now at User:Diego Paul Garzon/sandbox and the article about your book is at Draft:Aves (novel), where you can work on them. Each of those has a "Submit" button to send them for review, but neither of them would be accepted in their present state.

That is because Wikipedia is quite choosy about subjects for articles. The test for inclusion is called Wikipedia:Notability and requires references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Youtube, Facebook, IMDb, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people not connected with the subject thought it significant enough to write substantial comment about? See also Wikipedia:Notability (summary).

For film-makers/authors and for books, standards are explained at WP:CREATIVE and WP:NBOOK. There is good advice about how to write acceptable articles at WP:Your first article. JohnCD (talk) 18:32, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Facts must be verifiable

There is a fundamental policy Wikipedia:Verifiability, summarised as "any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source". To see whether I could help you with sources, I have been trying to verify the claims in your article, but without success.

The director of The Spirit (film) was Frank Miller and the producers were Deborah Del Prete, Gigi Pritzker and Michael Uslan; the writers of Mars Needs Moms were Simon and Wendy Wells; the writers of Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole were John Orloff and Emil Stern; the producer of "Quito 2023" was Lorena Caicedo. I have not found your name anywhere in IMDb.

Please do not waste our time by submitting your pages for review unless you give references to reliable, published sources to verify what they say. JohnCD (talk) 19:46, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Aves (novel)

Hello, Diego Paul Garzon. It has been over six months since you last edited your Articles for Creation draft article submission, "Aves".

In accordance with our policy that Articles for Creation is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 02:40, 7 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
