Speedy deletion nomination of User:Mfarabola

A tag has been placed on User:Mfarabola requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page 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. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time.

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 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) 14:13, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Drm310, you are right to criticize attempts to use Wikipedia as a social network. However, I have examined the "deleted" user page that you had deleted. If Mfarabola was indeed writing about himself, then he was writing about a photographer who died almost exactly 37 years ago. This would be a most remarkable case of contribution from beyond the grave, one that would amply deserve a write-up in the Signpost. -- Hoary (talk) 00:50, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Hoary: Well, I didn't delete the page (only nom'd it) as I'm not an admin and have no such privileges. As for the message, I probably saw the similarity between the subject and the username, and just went on autopilot. {{uw-coi}} was probably the more appropriate choice of template here. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 06:13, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Drm310, yes, it's now obvious to me that my wording, "you had deleted", is ambiguous. (I'd meant "whose deletion you'd proposed".) Sorry about that. And of course this wasn't a suitable use of a user page. -- Hoary (talk) 06:24, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Tullio Farabola (December 3)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Hoary was:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Little of the content of this draft is clearly linked to a specific source. And of the material that is linked, two parts are linked to pages 86, 88, 92, 134, 155, 161, 164, 165, 169, 171, 210, 219–222, 226 of one source. It defies belief that each of these claims is described on each of fourteen pages of a single book. ¶ The list of "Published works, after his death" is far too inclusive. Among all these many sources, which are really significant? Which will help a reader who does not propose to do postgraduate research on Farabola? (Incidentally, translate "a cura di" as "ed".) ¶ The draft on Tullio Farabola is by Mfarabola. A slightly earlier version appeared (on 30 November) at User:Mfarabola, perhaps giving an overly hurried reader the impression that this was an autobiography. As the biographee had died decades previously, this certainly was not an autobiography; however, the resemblance between the names "Tullio Farabola" and "Mfarabola" needs an explanation on the talk page of this draft.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

Conflict of interest

It's clear that you are not Tullio Farabola, but you say that he was your father. You therefore have a conflict of interest when writing about him. Please read and digest the page "Conflict of interest". If this is dismayingly long, please read and digest the page "Plain and simple conflict of interest guide". Perhaps you prefer to read Italian: it is likely (although not certain) that the gist of the page "Contenuti promozionali o celebrativi" is very similar to that of "Conflict of interest". -- Hoary (talk) 06:45, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Fedele Toscani (January 10)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Mattdaviesfsic was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Fedele Toscani and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
