Mwenyeji Spikes moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Mwenyeji Spikes. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources and it is promotional and reads like an advertisement. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 07:04, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Mwenyeji Spikes. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Mwenyeji Spikes (March 11)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Dan arndt were:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Fails WP:ANYBIO, lacks any sources or references.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Mwenyeji Spikes and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

March 2024

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article, or a draft for a Wikipedia article, about yourself, at Draft:Mwenyeji Spikes. 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 Notable people who have edited Wikipedia). 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. Thank you.

Mwenyeji Spikes, originally known as Matthews from Nairobi, is recognized as a literary critic and a vocal poet. His initial compilation, titled "Afromental Contagion" in 2002, marked his emergence in the poetry scene. Since then, he has collaborated with various poets and spoken word artists, including Tear Drops and Namatsi Lukoye, contributing significantly to the poetry landscape in Kenya. Beyond his poetic endeavors, Spikes has actively supported emerging arts and has become notable for his involvement in the annual Central Wacka Wacka Festival of music, arts, and African culture, solidifying his presence in the arts community. His interests extend to music, community engagement, and art programs, leading him to engage in social activism and community empowerment. He hosts the weekly Afrocentric podcast called the "African Ways podcast," aimed at empowering and uniting Africans worldwide through news, information, and socio-economic and political commentary. In addition to his podcast, Spikes is recognized as an underground emcee, blending social consciousness with entertainment. He has hosted numerous mixtapes and featured on hip-hop albums. Currently, he hosts "Pumzi Mixtape Fridays" in Nairobi every last Friday of the month, providing a platform for both emerging and established talents in poetry and hip-hop. To further support talent scouting and development in the arts, Mwenyeji co-founded "Pumzi Afrika," a creative agency dedicated to empowering budding artists in both rural and urban areas. This initiative fosters an environment for the local growth and development of art. Mwenyeji Spikes (talk) 08:03, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Mwenyeji Spikes

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Mwenyeji Spikes requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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.

Self-promotion

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 08:21, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Mwenyeji Spikes,

If you are only interested in writing about yourself and your projects, you will soon find yourself blocked from editing as you are only interested in self-promotion. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia with referenced articles about notable subjects. This doesn't include you. I recommend that you find other ways to contribute to the project. Liz ^{Read!
