Hi Dan,
I see that local electeds dont necessarily qualify for a Wikipedia article unless they are notable- my first election win was historic- as the first out member of the Milwaukee County Board (legislative body). Though I've only provided 10+ sources ranging from CNN to local affiliates and, there are dozens more including USA Today and business journals I could provide for additional press coverage- would that be preferred?
For the self promotion question, would it be acceptable for me to hire someone else to make this same submission? That seems counter productive to me. Thanks for helping me better understand placement and internal policies. -Peter Burgelis (talk) 12:22, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

[edit]

Hello, Burgelis, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited appears to be an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. We require individuals to meet Wikipedia's definition of a notable person to accept articles about them.

The page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page. If your contributions to an existing article about yourself are undone and you wish to add to it, please propose the changes on its talk page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
