It's a bad idea to write an article about yourself

Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Wynne McLaughlin. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – 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 an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its 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 my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 00:21, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Response

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance. I am a notable screenwriter, television writer, game designer and author, and I think my inclusion on wikipedia has merit. Here is a link to my credits on the Internet Movie Database -- http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0572450/ I have film and television credits stretching back to 1996, as well as credits on well-known, high profile video games, most of which already have Wikipedia entries. Wynnemclaughlin (talk) 00:32, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

But your article must have notable coverage from a reliable source. IMDB is not considered a reliable source as it is user-editable and has no fact checking. In addition, you have a conflict of interest. -- ferret (talk) 00:56, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I can provide verifiable, reliable sources. You already have wikipedia pages on most of the projects I've worked on. Each of those published products have verifiable credits, just as books and articles do. I can also (if given time) provide numerous books and articles that refer to me and these projects. The entry is a mere statement of facts. If there is anything specific that you think should be edited, I'm happy to do so, but to delete the page outright seems excessive.Wynnemclaughlin (talk) 01:06, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also, why are so many other pages using IMDB as their sole reference if it isn't acceptable? Case in point, Martin Roach.Wynnemclaughlin (talk) 01:06, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Here's another example of a video game designer and writer with similar credits. Neal Hallford.Wynnemclaughlin (talk) 01:14, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Notability is not inherited. This means that just because The Elder Scrolls Online is notable, does not mean everyone involved in it is also notable. Another poor argument is that other stuff exists. Things sometimes fly under the radar sometimes, until an editor happens to check them out and flag them. Users adding themselves to many other articles tends to get noticed. I have searched for you with the customized search used by the Wikipedia Video Game project and was unable to find any sources suitable for covering an article on you. I'm sorry but that's just where it sits. Sources that quote you in reference to projects don't count towards notability, and that was all I found in just barely 2 pages of results. -- ferret (talk) 01:38, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Answering Wynnemclaughlin Because people create the articles. Typically an article is much easier to create than to get it deleted. If you see these types of articles please feel free to nominate them for deletion. This would be very helpful to clean up the many non-notable articles on the English version of Wikipedia.

Also did you read the conflict of interest page you were directed too? VViking_TalkEdits 01:41, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of The Bone Feud

The article The Bone Feud has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No coverage of this book in independent reliable sources, fails WP:NBOOK

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
