You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Writing about yourself[edit]

You are welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, but it is not a social media site like Facebook or LinkedIn for people to write about themselves. It is a quite different sort of site, a project to build an encyclopedia, so it is selective about subjects for articles. 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, as well as Wikipedia's plain and simple conflict of interest guide. Thanks. --Drm310 (talk) 22:20, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and notability[edit]

Hi! I thought I'd explain why all of your pages were deleted. Ultimately it boils down to two things: notability and self-promotion.

It takes an awful lot for a book or person to pass notability guidelines, as you would need to show where you and/or the book have received coverage in multiple independent and reliable sources, like newspaper reviews. Books do not automatically become notable for being published, nor do authors immediately become notable because they published their work. Without reliable sources the book and author (yourself) will not pass the notability guidelines at WP:NAUTHOR or WP:NBOOK. Sales pages or primary sources like personal websites do not count towards notability and in the case of sales pages, those should not be on Wikipedia at all. Now the other thing I noted is that some of the pages were a little promotional, since you very liberally linked to places where people can purchase the book. This made the pages come across as promotional, which goes against several of Wikipedia's guidelines.

This has all got to be frustrating and I don't mean any of this to come across as harsh. It's just that it takes an awful lot for various things to become notable enough for Wikipedia and there are a lot of people and things that never gain enough coverage, despite being very popular. My only recommendation is just to keep writing. It's possible that one day you'll gain the coverage you need to pass notability guidelines and you can even mention in an article that you had an article deleted on Wikipedia. Until then, I'd like to ask that you not try to re-add yourself to Wikipedia.

On a side note, I noted on your deleted article that you tried making two films and neither were professional, then switched to writing. I just wanted to let you know to keep trying with stuff like that, if you are still interested in film. Everyone starts off rough and even the biggest names in filmmaking had first projects that were unprofessional. It's part of the learning process. Just keep plugging away and you'll get there one day. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 09:48, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
