Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2011 May 15

Tiago Morgado (talk|edit|history|logs|links|watch) (restore)

<First of all I must apologise. my id in wikipedia is t.m.morgado, I am tiago morgado, and I've written an article about myself in wikipedia, which is not a reccomended procedure in the wikipedia. the only reason why I did this was because I've been identified in the page of the band where I was playing last year, here in wikipedia, listed me in their page, so I thought that It would be good to have a wikipedia page about myself (sorry if it sounds too narcisist).. I've then started to write the article, spent the whole night on it, once I had no absolutely wikipedia experiencie, and I only stated my cv, with only factual happenings, that are on my bio, and have all took its place in time. And then I listed some of the most significant releases I had in my path, I posted links to some of the pages Where I am in the social networks, and listed the references, where my bio is listed. I know that it is not a common procedure in wikipedia. But all that was there was truth, there was no hyperbolic language or speech, and it was all truth, it took a whole night to write, and I would Like to ask for undeletion, even considering that I've written something about myself. I took care and tried to do it properly, so I think that It should be considered. thanks in advance. sorry for the unconvenience.. and for unproper procedure dued to being noob on wikipedia> —Preceding unsigned comment added by T.m.morgado (talk • contribs) 06:38, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• First the deletion of the page does not mean that it will now always be deleted and we can't have a page about you, it means there were problems now. The page was deleted for two reasons (1) it copied a lot from elsewhere so appeared to be a copyright violation, you might hold the copyright on that other material but we'd need a formal release for that (2) As promotional. You say it's based on your CV, well you use your CV to promote yourself - wikipedia is not a place to promote yourself.
  You say you thought the page was OK because your band mentions your name, that's not the way it works - for inclusion wikipedia looks to see if the world is interested in you, have they written significant articles about you in reliable media - newspapers, magazines etc. but not fans on the internet writing on their blogs etc. It is quite possible that the world is interested in your band, but not that interested in you. The normal thing to ask is that if the world is interested in you, then someone other than you will eventually write the article - if the only person who is interested in writing the article is you then it suggests we shouldn't have an article about you now. --82.7.44.178 (talk) 09:07, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Endorse deletion – User is free to recreate provided material is not copypasted directly from other sources, which was what the problem here was. –MuZemike 16:21, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
