Speedy deletion nomination of Jess Wells
[edit]
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 Jess Wells, 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 be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for 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 "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.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article, or a draft for a Wikipedia article, about yourself, at Jess Wells. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. Thank you. McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 23:13, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Please help me with... I had recently read that one can create a Wikipedia page for oneself as long as it is not pandering or complimentary and is written in Wiki style. I apparently did not do it correctly because the page (Jess Wells) has been deleted. My previous contributions have just been additions to other pages and seemed straight-forward but this is not. Could someone help me understand what I can and cannot do?Scribegrrl (talk) 14:36, 18 April 2021 (UTC) Scribegrrl (talk) 14:36, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
- It is strongly discouraged from creating autobiography, please see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you still want to go ahead, then use the WP:Article Wizard to start a draft. - RichT|C|E-Mail 14:59, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) This question could be further answered by Mcmatter, who nominated the article for deletion, or Seraphimblade, who deleted the article. I dream of horses (Contribs) Please notify me if replying off my talk page. Thank you. 15:02, 18 April 2021 (UTC) (fixed ping at 15:03, 18 April 2021 (UTC)~)
- As the person who tagged your first article as overtly promotional I can provide some more feedback. The reason for us to discourage auto-biographies is because we often don't write about ourselves in a neutral way. Your article really consisted of little more then a list of your work, with links to sites selling your work. Nothing in the article was properly cited. In a biography about a living person everything should be cited to a reliable source. Some helpful links are WP:NBIO, WP:YFA and WP:REFB.McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 15:11, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
- I would agree with Mcmatter. The "article" was basically just a collection of links to where your books are sold, and blurbs about them. That is absolutely not allowed. In any case, while we strongly discourage writing autobiographies to start with, it is certainly a conflict of interest situation. In that case, rather than writing directly in mainspace, one should write as a draft and seek review by an editor without a COI by submitting to articles for creation. But even then, I'd discourage that—it is essentially impossible for any of us to remain neutral when writing about a subject we are personally very close to, including writing about oneself, which is why it's discouraged to do so at all. Seraphimblade Talk to me 18:58, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
- As an aside, I find myself a bit curious where you got that advice. You do not have to say, of course, but it sounds like they are not giving accurate advice at all. Most people, regardless of how an article would be written, are not notable and would not be appropriate article subjects at all. So I'm curious who's telling people to pop by and write autobiographies, and I wish they'd not advise people to do that. Seraphimblade Talk to me 19:08, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

[edit]|

Women in Red 8th Anniversary |
| In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap! |
