This is my talk page.

I am not really talking but scribing words together to make coherent phrases that anyone who can comprehend the beautiful English language that they were scribed in today this Monday August 31st 2020 can comprehend.

It is Tuesday September 1 2020 as I scribe this paragraph of words. I am continuing to access Wikipedia so that one of my poems is read by others. It is an original creation of mine and part of my poetry and song book that I have read to a friend of mine at times in person. My scribetalk is done for today. Dr Angelo Mathes

This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic.

Contested deletion[edit]

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because it not.AngeloMathes (talk) 17:19, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what you understand the purpose of Wikipedia to be, but it is not a webhost for you to use as a platform for your poetry and inspirations. Please review Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. -- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 17:28, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Seriously, I'm envious of anyone who can put words together in a way that's creative and interesting for the reader; this just isn't the place for it. We write dry, encyclopedic articles with lots of boring citations and technical formatting. Based on what's happened so far, I doubt you will find participation here rewarding. If you want to remove the promotional part (after the poem) from your user page, it might be allowed to remain, in my experience. —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 02:44, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
See WP:UP#Terminology and page locations for guidance on the purpose of user talk pages. It's generally a place for other editors to write to you about Wikipedia, not a journal or social media page for you to post your thoughts. —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 02:52, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Encyclopedia[edit]

Hi there, Angelo. I would like to say: poetry is beautiful, just not here. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, which is "a reference work or compendium providing summaries of knowledge either from all branches or from a particular field or discipline." In the case of a userpage, a userpage is not a place to publish your poetries. It is a place to introduce your Wikipedia philisophies/opinions/statuses/etc. to other editors, and maybe some of your interests and things you think editors will find helpful. Your section on Teahouse is the reason people suspect that you're promoting. See User:Gerald Waldo Luis, my userpage, as an example. There, I put minimal amounts of poetry and add more related stuff; quotes and decors are merely for decoration. Feel free to see the userpages of other people talking here too. I disagree with User:AlanM1: if you have good faith, you have a place on Wikipedia or other Wikimedia projects. Just remember that this is not a hosting area or a place to talk about your entire life. Cheers, GeraldWL 10:32, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

AngeloMathes, also, anyone can edit Wikipedia, so don't bring up other people, unless their userpage is also serving solely poetry/promotion. Mind bringing up the user in question? GeraldWL 12:57, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Substitute[edit]

Why not make:

Roses are red, violets are blue; welcome to my userpage, feel free to message me and I'll reach out to you.

And just that. No footers. GeraldWL 01:49, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Or even better, go contribute to our actual encyclopedia. That's the only really valid reason to edit on this site. DMacks (talk) 03:22, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah. I'm just tryna give them a good example of a userpage. And yeah, I think the only reason you should make an account is to edit. I didn't realize this in late 2018 when I made my account; only on 2020 did I revisit my account. GeraldWL 05:55, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
And with what, a few K edits now, leading to lots of improved encyclopediac content and helping others too? We're glad you did! DMacks (talk) 18:05, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

From head to toe, STOP. GeraldWL 15:20, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

AngeloMathes, I suspect your time here on Wikipedia is about to end. Consider this a final administrative warning to stop wasting everyone else's time with your self-promotion. DMacks (talk) 18:03, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion of the Angelo Mathes the Poet, Poem[edit]

AngeloMathes, Which user? If is DOES violate, I'll add it for deletion. GeraldWL 15:26, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
