I heartily protest to the deletion of this entry - while not exactly comprehensive, it has provided more than enough balanced report to well-represent the subject.Reid Kennedy (talk) 09:36, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion

This page should not be speedily deleted because (I am a man of integrity and distinction, and have not embellished, nor omitted intentionally any information pertinent to a balanced view on the subject in question. I am not using this as platform for self-promotion, I am simply doing what comes naturally - defending the truth and creating something of meaning and value. Lastly, all of my facts are first-party statements - there is no need to credit a third-party observer. I thank you for thoughtfully considering my contention, and re-request that my workband name receive recognition.) -08:59, 19 November 2024 (UTC)08:59, 19 November 2024 (UTC)~~

I have deleted your user page, because the content was not in line with our user page policy; see WP:UP for information on what you may, and may not, post on your user page. Also, please note that autobiographies are strongly discouraged (see WP:AUTOBIO), and any sort of promotion, including self-promotion, is not allowed. Best Regards, --DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:34, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I politely refute the supposition that I crafted that entry for my own self glorification. I am a legitimate man of respect, and would like to be known by those who are curious. If you could offer some solid points upon which I could improve the article, I could try to accommodate them. Please don't block any further attempts to make my work known and available to others. Reid Kennedy (talk) 10:04, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's pretty much the definition of "self-glorification" and "self-promotion," actually. With that, you're missing the point: Wikipedia is not a web host. Whether or not you are a "man of respect" is neither here nor there; the creation of articles on Wikipedia is governed by several policies and notability guidelines, which you ought to acquaint yourself with before going any further. (Among other things, yes: you do need to cite third-party sources for all facts.

The bottom line is that you can freely post your autobiography on the Internet. You just cannot do so on Wikipedia. Ravenswing 13:03, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A close third-party account, as opposed to a first party? Furthermore, since you all were so stringent with the stated policies - disregarding, in my mind the spirit and intent of the writings. Reid Kennedy (talk) 13:16, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a webhost. Please understand the spirit and intent of the project. Cabayi (talk) 13:41, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Refutal of the heavy handedness in the interpretation of those well-intentioned guidelines.

I find those accusations to be heavy handed and dimly inspired. I staunchly defend my honor and rights to speak freely and honestly about topics that are important - including, by association, the institutions and distinctions that honored him so thoroughly and properly.

@Reid Kennedy Did you want to say that you don't want to comply with the rules? -Lemonaka 11:33, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, less of any kind of academic question whatsoever.

This is well-researched, boldly presented, and thorough in its revelation of this young man's life and work. Reid Kennedy (talk) 11:36, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion

This page should not be speedily deleted because (the topic is relevant to the collective well-being, the details are accurate, and avoid speculation or aggrandizements, and because the people have continually responded to the life and work of this beloved, if not, a bit untraditonal citizen, scholar, poet, and soldier.) Reid Kennedy (talk) 11:32, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"the details are accurate" - You've got to be dead to be a catholic saint. Cabayi (talk) 11:38, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, to step into the discussion lightly, that's not technically true. Reid Kennedy (talk) 15:01, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
