User talk:Eyo Trav

Welcome!

Hello, Eyo Trav, 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 User:Eyo Trav, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Eyo Trav

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Eyo Trav, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

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. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

I would like to contest the speedy deletion of the Eyo Trav page. While it may currently lack sources or in-depth information, Eyo Trav is a notable figure in the Cameroonian music industry who deserves to have a Wikipedia presence. As described in the page, Eyo Trav (real name Ngeh Travor Ngwang) has produced over 8 albums and collaborated with many up-and-coming Nigerian artists. He owns a successful internet cafe business and mentors young musicians. Within Cameroon, he has achieved reco

  I would like to contest the speedy deletion of the Eyo Trav page. While it may currently lack sources or in-depth information, Eyo Trav is a notable figure in the Cameroonian music industry who deserves to have a Wikipedia presence.

As described in the page, Eyo Trav (real name Ngeh Travor Ngwang) has produced over 8 albums and collaborated with many up-and-coming Nigerian artists. He owns a successful internet cafe business and mentors young musicians. Within Cameroon, he has achieved recognition and success through his work as a producer, entrepreneur and champion of new talent.

  I understand the page currently lacks citations and could be expanded with more details. However, deleting it entirely would remove an opportunity to build a article documenting the career and contributions of someone making an impact in their country's music and arts community. 
  Rather than a speedy deletion, I ask that the page be kept with an "article for creation" template to allow time for additional sources to be added in support of Eyo Trav's notability within his field and geographical context. Deleting the page prematurely risks losing information about a figure who deserves recognition on Wikipedia. Please reconsider the speedy deletion and give the page a chance to be filled out properly.

"While it may currently lack sources or in-depth information" is enough right there to reject this content outright. If content cannot be verified with citations to reliable sources, then it cannot exist on Wikipedia; this is non-negotiable. It does not matter what a user knows or believe to be true - we care only about what can be verified. Without significant mention in reliable sources, we cannot assume this person is notable enough for inclusion. See Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Verifiability, not truth. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 19:12, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Eyo Trav

A tag has been placed on User:Eyo Trav, 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 consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free Web hosting service. (See section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

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. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Writing about yourself

You are welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, but it is not a social media site 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 media 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 service provider. 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 under criterion U5. Wikipedia articles use formal English and are not written in Internet posting style."

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) 19:13, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
