Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Pierre O'Rourke

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 Draft:Pierre O'Rourke, 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.

Hello, thanks for contacting me. All Wikipedia articles need to be written in a NPOV sort of way . See, WP:NPOV. Your draft was so far below that bar, it sounded like advertising, so I tagged it for deletion. If you can make your draft sound neutral and not promotional ,it won't be deleted. Or you can let it be deleted and then recreate your draft but this time make it sound neutral instead of advertising. I'll leave you more links on your talk page in a sec. Happy editing.

Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (October 16)

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). 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.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:Pierre O'Rourke/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to User:Pierre O'Rourke/sandbox, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

Draft

Hello, I've removed some POV wording in your draft. I will remove the CSD tag, but I suggest you follow the advice I previously gave you. I also got some more advice for you about Autobiographies I will give you next.JC7V-constructive zone 03:30, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

Hello, Pierre O'Rourke, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited appears to be an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.

The page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page. If your contributions to an existing article about yourself are undone and you wish to add to it, please propose the changes on its talk page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

The five pillars of Wikipedia
Contributing to Wikipedia
Tutorial
How to edit a page and How to develop articles
How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
Simplified Manual of Style

Edit Draft

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I have edited my draft. Can you please review this? This is not an autobiography. I was requested to write a page due to a recent book publication. Thank you.

Pierre O'Rourke (talk) 23:09, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There are a few things that you need to do.

Request a new user name. If you are not Pierre O'Rourke, you may not have an account that impersonates him.
Whether or not you are Pierre O'Rourke, you say you were requested to write this article about him. That most likely means that you have a conflict of interest and must disclose your connection on your user page and, ideally, on the talk page of the draft.
In order to be accepted, your draft must provide references that establish that its subject is notable. In this case, it appears that the criteria that apply to writers is what you have to meet. So far, your references don't meet this standard.

You are welcome to ask questions at the Teahouse. You can get advice about notability references at the Articles for Creation help desk; they can tell you if the references you have are adequate without doing the entire review of the draft. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 02:46, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

October 2018

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your user subpage at User:Pierre O'Rourke may not meet Wikipedia's user page guideline. If you believe that your user page does not violate our guideline, please leave a note on this page. Alternatively, you may add {{Db-u1}} to the top of the page in question and an administrator will delete it, or you can simply edit the page so that it meets Wikipedia's user page guideline.

Should have mentioned this above. Your user page is a place to write a few things about yourself and your Wikipedia editing. It is not a place for your autobiography, CV, resume, or for drafting new article content. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 02:54, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
