Speedy deletion nomination of Mohammed Rashaad

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Mohammed Rashaad requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organised event, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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, you can place a request here. Mean as custard (talk) 09:15, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your article

Please do not write about yourself on Wikipedia. It is not forbidden - please see WP:AUTOBIO - but it is very strongly advised against. Please also read WP:BIO for the standards you have to meet in order for an article to stand any chance of surviving here, and WP:RS about the reliable independent sources you would need to refer to in order to prove the notability under WP:BIO. Good luck with your career. Someday you may indeed have an article, but please remember that unlike at Facebook and MySpace, not everyone can have one. Very few do, in fact. This is because Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia and not social media. Peridon (talk) 10:04, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your request at REFUND

I have not restored this to your user page, because Wikipedia user pages are not like those on social-networking sites where people post detailed biographies and CVs. As Peridon says above, Wikipedia is not a place for people to write about themselves: Wikipedia user pages are for contributors to the encyclopedia to say something about themselves and their Wikipedia work, to assist communication within the project. Their use is explained at WP:NOTWEBHOST:

"Wikipedians have their own user pages, but they should be used primarily to present information relevant to working on the encyclopedia. Limited biographical information is allowed, but user pages should not function as personal webpages or be repositories for large amounts of material that is irrelevant to collaborating on Wikipedia. If you are looking to make a personal webpage or blog or to post your résumé, please make use of one of the many free providers on the Internet or any hosting included with your Internet account."

You can find out more about Wikipedia at the WP:Welcome page and the WP:Introduction. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 10:22, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
