Notice of speedy deletion on Erick Jongo

[edit]

Hello, I'm Instantmatter49. I've placed a speedy deletion tag on the article you've created yourself, called Erick Jongo, because although it's an article about that one person, it does not really explain why the person in particular is either important or significant enough to include on an encyclopedia, including Wikipedia itself. I have noticed that your user name in particular is also Erickjongo, so if you're really Erick Jongo, then please take a look at a Wikipedia article about writing an autobiography. Unfortunately, it looks like writing an article about yourself is heavily discouraged, as it's always subject to biases, opinions, and original research. Additionally, the person in particular also needs to be important/significant enough to be included in an encyclopedia, which is why I've tagged your article for the opposite reasons. If you feel like the article should not be speedily deleted, then please follow the instructions above my message, and remember, you cannot remove the deletion notice on an article you've created yourself, well, that's about yourself. For more information, see the Wikipedia article about the speedy deletion process. If you have any questions or concerns, see either the Help desk, the Teahouse, or just the main help page in general. Thanks. –Instantmatter49 (talk) 13:54, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Writing about yourself

[edit]

You are welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, but it is not a social media site like Facebook or LinkedIn for people to write about themselves. It is a quite different sort of site, a project to build an encyclopedia, so it is selective about subjects for articles. Writing about oneself is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at Wikipedia is not about YOU and Wikipedia:Autobiography.

Wikipedia user pages are not like those at social networking sites. Their use is explained at WP:NOTWEBHOST:

"Wikipedians have individual user pages, but they should be used primarily to present information relevant to work on the encyclopedia. Limited autobiographical information is allowed, but user pages do not serve as personal webpages, blogs, or repositories for large amounts of material irrelevant to collaborating on Wikipedia. If you want to post your résumé or make a personal webpage, please use one of the many free providers on the Internet or any hosting included with your Internet account. The focus of user pages should not be social networking or amusement, but rather providing a foundation for effective collaboration. Humorous pages that refer to Wikipedia in some way may be created in an appropriate namespace. Personal web pages are often speedily deleted."

You can find out more about Wikipedia at the WP:Welcome page and the WP:Introduction, as well as Wikipedia's plain and simple conflict of interest guide. Thanks. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:13, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
