Speedy deletion nomination of User:Beauty Marsh

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:Beauty Marsh, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. 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. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Writing about yourself

You are welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, but it is not a social media site like Facebook or LinkedIn for people to write about themselves. It is a quite different sort of site, a project to build an encyclopedia, so it is selective about subjects for articles. Writing about oneself is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at Wikipedia is not about YOU and Wikipedia:Autobiography.

Wikipedia user pages are not like those at social networking sites. Their use is explained at WP:NOTWEBHOST:

"Wikipedians have individual user pages, but they should be used primarily to present information relevant to work on the encyclopedia. Limited autobiographical information is allowed, but user pages do not serve as personal webpages, blogs, or repositories for large amounts of material irrelevant to collaborating on Wikipedia. If you want to post your résumé or make a personal webpage, please use one of the many free providers on the Internet or any hosting included with your Internet account. The focus of user pages should not be social networking or amusement, but rather providing a foundation for effective collaboration. Humorous pages that refer to Wikipedia in some way may be created in an appropriate namespace. Personal web pages are often speedily deleted."

You can find out more about Wikipedia at the WP:Welcome page and the WP:Introduction, as well as Wikipedia's plain and simple conflict of interest guide. Thanks. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 05:21, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... the page is information about a musical artist. There isn't any promotion within the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beauty Marsh (talk • contribs)

I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what Wikipedia is. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia - a general reference guide about notable topics, composed of paraphrased summaries of material previously published in reliable, third-party sources.

"Notable" means that a topic (e.g. a person, place, organization, etc.) has gained sufficiently significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time, and are not outside the scope of Wikipedia. We consider evidence from reliable and independent sources to gauge this attention. If a topic lacks coverage of sufficient quantity and quality, it is not considered worthy of inclusion.

A reliable source is a trusted source of information with an established reputation for face-checking and editorial oversight. This heavily favours mainstream news media, academic press, and reputable publishers of books, magazines and newspapers. An independent source is a source that has no vested interest in the topic under discussion. Sources must be both reliable and independent to establish a topic as notable, as well as having significant coverage of the topic (not just brief mentions).

Self-published sources such as social media, blogs, message forums and other wikis (including Wikipedia itself) are not considered reliable and disqualified from use. Primary sources such as the subject's own website can be used to confirm basic facts and figures, but won't count toward establishing notability.

Essentially, Wikipedia has no interest in what the subject of an article wants to say about themselves. We highly discourage people from writing autobiographies, as it is an inherent conflict of interest. You will not be capable of being an objective judge of your own notability, find it difficult to write from the required neutral point of view, and refrain from using any unpublished personal knowledge or experience. As well, if an article about you is eventually accepted, you would not have any right of ownership or control over it; we caution people that an article about you isn't always a good thing.

Finally, you wrote it on your userpage. A userpage is not a personal website or social media page where you can talk extensively about yourself. It is a page where you can write a small amount about yourself, your interests and your goals as a Wikipedia editor. The userpage guidelines have more detail about what is considered acceptable.

I'm sorry that this message isn't more favourable. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and meets our requirements for biographies of living persons, someone else will eventually write about you. Please understand that this is not a social media site nor a place for you to publicize yourself or your work to the world. Thank you. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:30, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
