Speedy deletion nomination of Amit Phadke

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 Amit Phadke, 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 be 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 or person 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/Business 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 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, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Wikipedia is not for writing about yourself

Welcome to Wikipedia, but it is not a place like Facebook or LinkedIn 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.

Wikipedia user pages are not like those at social-networking sites. Their use is explained at WP:NOTWEBHOST:

"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."

You can find out more about Wikipedia at the WP:Welcome page and the WP:Introduction. JohnCD (talk) 19:49, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Reply to your questions on my talk page

Encyclopedia articles about celebrities or important people are here because contributors to the encyclopedia thought they were of enough general interest to have an article. There is a test for inclusion called Wikipedia:Notability which looks for references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Those references provide material on which to base an article - the Wikipedia:Verifiability policy requires that articles are based on reliable, published sources. The articles are not written by the subjects themselves - that is strongly discouraged. If you click on "View history" at the top of a page, you will usually see that it is the result of contributions from many users.

User pages (starting with "User:") are not encyclopedia articles, but they are not places for people to tell the world about themselves, as on social-networking sites. They are intended for contributors to the encyclopedia to say something about themselves, if they choose, in the context of their Wikipedia work, to help communication within the project.

As for how you can contribute, your contributions will be very welcome and there are many ways. Read the WP:Welcome page, the WP:Introduction and WP:Contributing to Wikipedia.

On talk pages (but not in articles) it helps to know who said what if you end each contribution by "signing" it with a group of four "tilde" characters ~~~~ which the system will turn into a "signature" of your username and the time and date, like this: JohnCD (talk) 12:09, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
