Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Patience Jonathan, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Jamie Tubers (talk) 16:15, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Nishant Kharel.

I am here to contest the deletion of the page Simon Nwakacha bibliography.

Simon Nwakacha is the proprietor of Imperial Schools Limited, one of the best schools in Kaduna state, Nigeria which comprises of nursery, primary and sedcondary schools with over 1000 students. Imperial Schools Limited, under the leadership of Engineer Simon Nwakacha begun the construction of a private university three years ago, a mega (multi-billion naira) project in Kaduna state. Simon Nwakacha believes that with the size of the project, those who would be interetsed in taking part in some way would like to read and know about him to know whether to be associated with him. All the information provided about him are true and undeniable.

Simon Nwakacha and I therefore feel seriously offended that you or whoever decided to take down the page have done so without any good faith and necessary enquiry.

Hello, Vallydate. 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 COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. 2601:188:1:AEA0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 15:26, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello.

So I then pose the question, who apart from those close to a person (or even someone hired) would know what to write about him or have the references to provide about him? Because while you talk about the conflict of interest, someone who is neutral will have no information and possibly, not even be on the list of those who would be contacted to write about him. And he is a very important person in society who felt it was high time he started publishing things about himself so that people can get to know him

Wikipedia's guidelines answer these questions--we do not permit personal recollections and first-person knowledge for encyclopedic inclusion. Only content that can be supported by WP:RELIABLE sources is acceptable--unsourced personal and family life content are especially prohibited, as this violates WP:BLP guidelines. Editors with a close association to their subjects are discouraged from writing about them, for obvious reasons, primarily that of objectivity. Please also read WP:NOTABILITY, and the sub-headings on biographies of living persons, for a basic overview. Thank you, 2601:188:1:AEA0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 15:54, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
