Welcome!

[edit]

Hello, Chabrie, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:Chabrie, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Contested deletion

[edit]

This page should not be speedily deleted because... (your reason here) --Chabrie (talk) 17:44, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This page is a true and factual account of my 30 year career in media and current significant leadership to form a national organization for minority women in the industry. Please assist with next steps.

There is a distinction between a Wikipedia article and a Wikipedia userpage, which is where you posted your content. A userpage is meant to have a small amount of biographical information, and/or statements about your interests and goals as they relate to editing Wikipedia. As noted above, it isn't a personal website, social media page, CV/resume or extensive autobiography. Although a lot of freedom is given in personalizing one's userpage, the userpage guidelines govern what is (and isn't) considered acceptable content.
An article is a page about a notable topic that consists of paraphrased summaries of previously published material about the topic. Topics are deemed to be notable if they have already acquired in-depth coverage from multiple sources that are considered both reliable and independent of the topic. Information in an article must be properly cited to these sources, and it must also be written from a plainly factual and neutral point of view.
We highly discourage users from writing articles about themselves, for a number of reasons:
  1. It is an inherent conflict of interest. Readers expect plainly factual articles, neutrally written and reliably sourced, written independently of their subjects. As such, the interests of the encyclopedia take priority over all personal concerns.
  2. It is very difficult to write about oneself from a neutral point of view. Even a well-intentioned author can introduce unconscious bias into their writing about a topic where they have a personal or professional connection.
  3. It is also difficult for someone to rely only on what independent sources have written about them, and not include any unpublished personal knowledge or experience.
  4. It's also hard to be an objective judge of one's own notability. Wikipedia has criteria to evaluate whether a person is notable. We also have a very strict policy for biographies of living persons which must be respected.
If you are a notable person, someone else will eventually create an article about you. If an article about you is created and accepted, you should be aware that you will have no right of ownership or control over article content; any content - positive or negative - is fair game, as long as it is neutrally written and properly balanced. That's why we caution people that an article about you isn't necessarily a good thing. Of course, we strive for accuracy and neutrality; any content disputes should first attempt resolution through discussion and compromise on the article talk page, where editors should strive for consensus. If that fails to resolve the disagreement, further dispute resolution measures are available.
I'm sorry that this message could not be more favourable. If you have any more questions or require further guidance, you can ask for help at the Wikipedia:Teahouse, a forum for new users to ask questions of more experienced Wikipedia editors. Best of luck with your future edits. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 19:24, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
