User talk:Jkavafian

Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page. To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable, that is, of general interest. Click on Notability for an explanation of what that means, and on Notability (people) for more detail. Also, it must give independently verifiable sources. Articles that don't meet these requirements are likely to be deleted.

For advice about creating articles, read the Introduction and the Guide to creating your first article.
You should not write articles about yourself, your band, your client, your boss or your best friend - that's a conflict of interest.
Wikipedia is not an advertising service. Before writing about your own organization, read FAQ/Organizations.
For experiments, please use the sandbox.

Speedy deletion nomination of Jacques Kavafian

A tag has been placed on Jacques Kavafian requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. JohnCD (talk) 19:10, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Autobiography strongly discouraged

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 19:10, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What was your user name in-between?

You opened this account in 2009, tried to introduce an article then -which was deleted- and now you seem to make your "first edit" today, 19 Nov. 2012. Is not that a little strange? Were you using another name in-between? Mine is just curiosity, you need not bother to respond if it disturbs you... --E4024 (talk) 22:25, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Could it be Findblogging? Thinkfood? Etc? They are all blocked... --E4024 (talk) 15:31, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
