[edit] Notability of Jourdan Siyal

A tag has been placed on Jourdan Siyal requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Roleplayer (talk) 09:21, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] February 2008

Your recent edit to Jourdan Siyal (diff) was reverted by an automated bot. The edit was identified as adding test edits to the page. If you want to experiment, please use the preview button while editing or consider using the sandbox. If this revert was in error, please contact the bot operator. Thanks! // VoABot II (talk) 09:22, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, as you did at Jourdan Siyal. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. faithless (speak) 12:02, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to User:Faithlessthewonderboy, you will be blocked from editing. GlassCobra 06:38, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A gentle reminder

Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, your recent edits on Feb 21, as you did to Global Indian International School Singapore‎, did not appear to conform with Wikipedia policies and guidelines:

  • Adding content without citing a reliable source, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Material that is unsourced or poorly sourced will be reverted or removed by other editors or administrators later. Read here for help on citing sources.
  • No edit summary: This is considered an important guideline. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you amend or delete any content; otherwise, people may question your motives for the edit i.e. likely vandals or trolls.
  • The tone or style of your edits is not appropriate for Wikipedia. Neutral point of view is one of the five pillars of Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to experiment. If you revert or continue with your controversial edits again, it is considered as vandalism, and you may be blocked from editing without further warning next. Thank you. -- Aldwinteo (talk) 07:26, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
