You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Pieter Rubeus, 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, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

Hi, I've seen your message, just about to go away for two days, will reply on return Jimfbleak - talk to me? 04:24, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, thanks for email. It's difficult to know where to start with this. I deleted your article because
it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, or they will be deleted.
I got no indication of why he meets the notability criteria as defined above.
Much of the article seemed to be original research and unencyclopaedic. You seemed to have dumped every random fact about the name into the article, and added some horoscope mumbo-jumbo, but haven't told us anything about him.
It was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: The SurnameRubeus seems to be Unique... Each Rubeus wine is a unique expression of the grape... world's most famous Pinot Noir growing regions... explicit passion of this varietal's smoldering hue... luscious new interpretations of Pinot Noir's compelling character... expensive, but worth ever drop... Virgo is a very independent zodiac sign — and much more that is either promotional salesman's talk or irrelevant.
Your user name suggests that you have an conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about this subject. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that he is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Wikipedia:Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Wikipedia:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.
I wonder if you have misunderstood the purpose of Wikipedia, it's an encyclopaedia, not social media.
Maybe you still have the first article that was posted.I did update it and posted a new one some time ago and I will appreciate it you can supply me the article that the above assumptions was made on.
The article is not about a person, or even a reference to me, but the meaning of the name Rubeus. It is placed to give the relation to the use of the name in geomancy structures and other relations a better understanding of why it is used and what it is meant for.
I could not understand your reference to the reference to people or biography at all.
The links in this article refers to the facts and current articles that is written inside of Wikipedia and I referenced it back to it for the facts as per wikipedia edited and placed by third parties not known to me. Do this not qualify "independent verifiable references?"
The horoscope mumbo jumbo you refer to is existing articles inside of wikipedia referencing the rubeus name in it under geomancy explanations suggesting that you see these articles as well as mumbo jumbo as you referring to in your reply?
We are only 19 people in the world of which I was referring to my uncle that has the same names as I do. My Father also had the same names. In fact of the 19 people 13 has exactly the same names and surnames and I am not writing about myself but about the rubeus name.
It was never meant for advertisement or social media, thus your remark to it is not understood. The references to the wines are not referencing suppliers or distributors, but a well known wine in use in France. The few points mentioned above has in fact been removed long time ago and I added the article as it is on the Rubeus website on www.rubeus.co.za and was the last edited one that was placed on wikipedia under this user.
I would appreciate if you can send me the article on which you base your facts above for review so I can verify what article you based your answer on as I belief that re-edited articles to correct issues was deleted without reading through them again.
I asked for someone who could assist me in changing the article so it reflects the facts about it. I will make use of your advise and place it on the Article wizard.
The request that you sent for assistance was forwarded to the Wikimedia South Africa mailing list, so I thought I'd come and see how I could help. Welcome to Wikipedia, and try not to let conflicts about any one article stop you from contributing more generally.
You definitely have a conflict of interest: if it's your surname, you have to work extra hard to make sure that you write from a neutral point of view. You also need to make sure that your first paragraph shows that the topic of your article is notable, by referring to reliable sources. Remember that everything that you write must be verifiable. The mystical content in the article that you quoted below on this talk page is mostly unverifiable, is probably interpreteted differently by different fortune-tellers, and certainly constitutes giving undue weight to one aspect of the topic.
You might think that this is just a stick-in-the-mud attitude by "wikilawyers", but those of us who care deeply about creating an excellent, free online encyclopedia have to refer to rules and standards, because we're a diverse group of people working towards the same goal, and we will never all agree on what the perfect article looks like. --Slashme (talk) 21:31, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Your references above does not hold much ground as I saw a lot of wikipedia articles that has a lot of advertisement tone to it: e.g Laerskool_en_Hoërskool_Raslouw advertise a school in South Africa, in fact if you search Hagrid Rubeus it reference Harry Potter, who in fact is a name in use in our family and who has no relation at all with the fictional character, or am I getting it wrong here?
Firstly, the fact that there are bad articles on Wikipedia is not an argument that can be used to keep other bad articles. Secondly, the article about the school that you linked is not particularly bad: it's written in a relatively neutral tone, and largely sticks to verifiable facts. There are many cases of real names that also refer to fictional characters, so that's also not particularly relevant. --Slashme (talk) 20:47, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Here is the last article posted that I have and that is currently published on www.rubeus.co.za, a website owned and managed by Marlinett Cristal Heritage Trust, a subsidiary trust of the Impire Holdings Trust controlled by the Empire Holdings Group Inc:

1753, in cosmetic sense, from Fr. rouge "red coloring matter," from adj. "red," from L. rubeus, related to ruber "red." Replaced native paint in this sense. The verb is attested from the year 1777.<br />
RUBY:
c.1300, from O.Fr. rubi, from M.L. rubinus <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapis" title="Lapis">lapis</a> "red stone" (cf. It. rubino), from L. rubeus "red," related to ruber (see red). Mod.Fr. rubis is prop. the plural of rubi, mistaken for sing.<br />
To color or prettify as if with a facial cosmetic: "Their job is to rouge up the war . . . to turn the horror into cheering press releases" (Richard Corliss).<br />
[French, from Old French, red, from Latin rubeus; see reudh- in Indo-European roots.]
This means "red" (or "reddish" or "russet-red") and also "of bramble" or "with bramble", an adjective to describe something. ruber = red ---------> rubeus rubus = bramble -> rubeus

have published this information which is not his copyright. The copyright exist with the Marlinet Cristal Heritage Trust that was established in 1989.
I have removed the referenced to the Rubeus of Lore, which was only a reference where the name Rubeus was used. Thank you for the tip anyway, I have forwarded to the trustees of our France from our breweries to investigate this website and the fact that they use our brands.
Pieter Rubeus (talk)
If it is indeed your own material, then you probably should be chasing after the dozens of websites that also appear to be reusing it. If you wish to include it in Wikipedia, even on your talk pages, see this article about how to do so. Note that I have removed more text from the above which appeared to be copyright violations of this and this. Also please note that if you are wanting web space to post personal ruminations not relevant to Wikipedia, there are a number of free hosting providers available for you to do so, and I get the impression that you run a hosting service yourself. -Kieran (talk) 00:00, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I am sorry to say, you are a piece of shit. It is indeed impossible to chase every site that is publishing my content or our families content, fuck head.
On the pages you are referring me to there is a sign in it, called rubeus that is used by every freaking palm reader or palm website. I will now proceed and obtain a court order to get every wikipedia page referring to it removed.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Pieter Rubeus (talk • contribs)
Well that is uncalled for and counter-productive. I don't think calling people names is very supportive of your case. Discott (talk) 07:57, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I requested on 13 May that this account must be deleted as well as any reference to it. Can you please refer back to me why it has not been deleted. It is so obvious that the content is seen as not relevant at all and all I got was a bunch of administrators that just gave no assistance other than criticism about information that you has no clue about. I got furious by the way I was treated on a talk page and when I return to see if the page indeed was removed just to find that I was blocked?
I request again, delete my profile Orange Mike.
