September 2011[edit]

Please do not write an article about yourself, as you did at Terence Doust. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged - see our guideline Writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedians with articles.) Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Indeed, I don't believe, in fact, the biography makes any particular claims to notability, and for that reason I've tagged it A7. I'm sympathetic (I'm a photographer as well, and approaching sufficient coverage to make a claim at GNG myself), but it's really best to let other people write about oneself.
