A tag has been placed on User:Abubakar Aliyu Umar requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals.

- What are the so called goals — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abubakar Aliyu Umar (talk • contribs) 18:49, 9 November 2015
- Welcome to Wikipedia. I have moved this down, because new contributions should go at the bottom of talk pages, to keep the conversation in order.
- For the goals of Wikipedia, see WP:Wikipedia is an encyclopedia.
- Wikipedia is not a social-networking site, and Wikipedia user pages are not like those at social-networking sites. Their use is explained at WP:NOTWEBHOST:
"Wikipedians have their own user pages, but they should be used primarily to present information relevant to working on the encyclopedia. Limited biographical information is allowed, but user pages should not function as personal webpages or be repositories for large amounts of material that is irrelevant to collaborating on Wikipedia. If you are looking to make a personal webpage or blog or to post your résumé, please make use of one of the many free providers on the Internet or any hosting included with your Internet account."
- You can find out more about Wikipedia at the WP:Welcome page and the WP:Introduction.
- On talk pages (but not in articles) it is a good idea to sign your contributions by ending them with a group of four "tilde" characters
~~~~
, which the system will turn into a "signature" of your username and the time and date, like this: JohnCD (talk) 19:53, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
