Wikipedia is not for writing about yourself

Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, but it is not a place like LinkedIn or Facebook for people to write about themselves or post their CVs. It is a quite different sort of site, a project to build an encyclopedia, so it is selective about subjects for articles, and writing about oneself is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at Wikipedia is not about YOU and Wikipedia:Autobiography. The links in the Welcome message at the top of this page will tell you more about Wikipedia.

Wikipedia user pages are intended for contributors to the encyclopedia to say something about themselves and their Wikipedia work, to help communication within the project. WP:NOTWEBHOST says: "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."

Speedy deletion nomination of Sourabhkaushal/sandbox

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 Sourabhkaushal/sandbox 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 or group of people, 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. JamesMoose (talk) 18:57, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You moved this page to Wikipedia:Sourabhkaushal. The "Wikipedia" namespace is only for pages concerned with the organization of the encyclopedia. I presume you intended this to be an encyclopdia article, so I have moved it to Sourabhkaushal; but I have left the speedy-deletion tag on it for another administrator to consider, because I do not think it shows the notability required to have a Wikipedia article.

In any case, please read again the message above which I posted last year, headed "Wikipedia is not for writing about yourself". JohnCD (talk) 19:14, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
