Reason for deletion

This is note to add to what I wrote at WP:UND#Jan Emmet Yngson. There are many social-networking sites like Facebook where people can write about themselves and their families, but Wikipedia is different. It is a project to build an encyclopedia so that, while anyone is welcome to contribute, that does not mean they can write whatever they like. In fact, Wikipedia is quite selective about article subjects. There is a test for inclusion called Wikipedia:Notability, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Wikipedia:Notability (people) explains more about the sort of standard expected.

Also, in order to maintain the necessary WP:Neutral point of view, Wikipedia contributors are strongly discouraged from writing about themselves, their family or friends, or anything with which they have a close connection. For more about this, read Wikipedia is not about YOU and the Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide.

You may find some ideas at WP:Alternative outlets. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 13:35, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
