Avoid

Vanity pages: Articles about yourself, your friends, your website, the band you're in, the word you made up or a story you wrote. If you are worthy of inclusion in the encyclopedia, let someone else add an article for you. Putting your friends in an encyclopedia may seem like a nice surprise or an amusing joke, but articles like this are likely to be removed. In the process, feelings may be hurt, and this can be avoided by a little forethought.
Advertising: Please don't try to promote your product or business. Please don't insert external links to your commercial website unless a neutral party would judge that the link truly belongs in the article; we do have articles about products like Kleenex or Sharpies, or notable businesses like McDonald's, but if you are writing about a product or business be sure you write from a neutral point of view.
Personal essays or original research: Wikipedia surveys existing human knowledge; it is not a place to publish new work. Do not write articles that present your own original theories, opinions, or insights, even if you can support them by reference to accepted work.
A single sentence or only a website link: Articles need to have real content of their own.; See also: What Wikipedia is not.
