User talk:Falconlaw

Welcome!

Hello, Billide, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:Billide, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Contested deletion

This page should not be speedily deleted because this page is about a former ABA president detailing his career and life. Many other former ABA presidents have similar wikipedia pages, so that when people visit the wikipedia page listing former presidents, they can learn more about them. --Billide (talk) 19:40, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Individuals are included only if they meet the notability criteria. The presence of other, similar articles has no influence over the suitability of a subject for inclusion.

Your account name may be a problem if this person is currently alive and notable enough for inclusion. Per Wikipedia's username policy, you should not name your account after a notable, identifiable or well-known person unless you can provide proof that you are that person. If you are not this person, it is highly recommended that you change your username to something else.

If you are you the person that you are writing about, then please know that this account may be blocked as a precaution against impersonation until proof of identity is provided. You should also review Wikipedia's guideline on autobiographies, as well as the cautionary essays WP:NOTYOU and WP:PROUD. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 22:15, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Roy William Ide III, from its old location at User:Billide. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 19:45, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
