Regarding the article you created about yourself

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 Misplaced Pages:No original research, Misplaced Pages:Neutral point of view, and Misplaced Pages:Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Misplaced Pages guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Misplaced Pages:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 20:14, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Re your message: I deleted the article because it did not conform to all of the Misplaced Pages rules, specifically, the notability guidelines for inclusion on Misplaced Pages. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 20:40, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Re your message: The burden is upon you to establish his notability, not for me to look it up. You may recreate the article if you can establish his notability and provide citations from reliable sources for him. If you wish to dispute my deletion of the article, you may do so at Misplaced Pages:Deletion review. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 20:52, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
