Explanation[edit]

Hi Erik, there are a few problems with your plan to make Erik Telford a disambiguation page between articles on the activist and yourself:

You are cut-and-pasting the content of Eric Telford into Erik Telford (activist). Instead of cut-and-paste, use the Move tab at the top of the page to move an article.
There is no need for a disambiguation page. Even if you are notable, the original Erik Telford can stay at that page, and a hatnote placed at the top of the article saying "For the musician, refer to Erik Telford (musician)."
Your article on yourself is not up to Wikipedia's standards. First off, it's never a good idea to write an article about yourself. If you're notable, someone else will write about you (and I don't mean someone from your family or friends - someone unrelated who believes you deserve to be included in an encyclopedia). Second, your article did not show why Wikipedia should have an article about you - please read the notability guideline for musicians. If you do not meet any of the criteria listed there, then there should be not be an article about you on Wikipedia.

I suggest that due to the problems of conflict of interest, if you do decide to recreate the article about yourself, create it in your userspace, e.g. at User:Etelford78/Erik Telford (musician) and ask someone to have a look at it to make sure it meets the criteria before reposting into article space. Hope that helps you understand what's happening here, and please ask if you have any questions. Regards, Somno (talk) 08:27, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
