A tag has been placed on Draft:Sensei Dave Armstrong - Martial Artist, Motivational Speaker, Author, Life Coach, CEO of Unlimited Potential Network Acd, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
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 deleted 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. — Blablubbs (talk • contribs) 16:55, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article about yourself, at Draft:Sensei Dave Armstrong - Martial Artist, Motivational Speaker, Author, Life Coach, CEO of Unlimited Potential Network Acd. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. '
PS. The title would be better with just the name without all that promocruft. "Dave Armstrong (martial artist)" would probably work better. The speedy deletion notice above works poorly for promotional pieces about people.User:Deepfriedokra/promo might be more helpful in avoiding promotional editing. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:06, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
Draft:Sensei Dave Armstrong - Martial Artist, Motivational Speaker, Author, Life Coach, CEO of Unlimited Potential Network Acd has been deleted
Hello, DaveArm111. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia, the world's largest free content enycloppedia.. I'm sorry, but Draft:Sensei Dave Armstrong - Martial Artist, Motivational Speaker, Author, Life Coach, CEO of Unlimited Potential Network Acd has been deleted as meeting WP:CSD#G12. Wikipedia is the world's largest free content encyclopedia. As such, it cannot contain content copyrighted elsewhere. Such content must be removed immediately and completely rewritten and reformatted from scratch. Content published elsewhere copied into Wikipedia must state that it is public domain, licensed under the GFDL, or a creative commons license that allows commercial reuse. That's the simple version. WP:copyright is a vastly complex issue, but if you keep to what I've written you are unlikely to run afoul.
Wikipedia cannot accept material copied from elsewhere, unless it explicitly and verifiably has been released to the world under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license or into the public domain and is written in an acceptable tone—this includes material that you own the copyright to. You should attribute content to outside sources, using citations, but copying and pasting or closely paraphrasing sources is not acceptable.
Content copied and pasted from a subject's web page is generally unhelpful. It is generally written in a promotional tone and is not independent of the subject. All content must be cited from reliable sources that are unconnected with the subject and have a reputation for fact checking. Cheers, and happy editing.
