This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

April 2024

Hello, VizualDesperado999. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. I'm sorry, but a page you created Draft:Michael "Maniac Mike" Manus McGettigan has been deleted as meeting one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects of articles must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources which are unconnected with the subject and which provide verifiable information. Someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. Please see WP:CORP for subjects that are groups or companies or organizations. Please see WP:ANYBIO for subjects who are people. Please see Wikipedia:Common sourcing mistakes (notability). Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Adventure is a useful tutorial.

Also, encyclopedia articles must be neutral in tone and not use language that promotes or advocates for a subject, or tries to cast the subject in a favorable light. Please see Information on content and common pitfalls to avoid here and here. Sometimes creators of promotional/advocational content are bewildered that it is considered such. If one has been trained to write such content, or if one has spent some time writing such content, one may simply be blind to non-neutral phrases or styles.

Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. A common assumption is that the prohibition against promotional editing applies only to businesses or organizations. It applies to any topic, including a person, a non-commercial organization, a point of view, etc.

CV's/resumé's are by their nature promotional. Writing about oneself or any connected subject is discouraged as the connection can make objectivity difficult. Information on avoiding advocational content and common pitfalls is here and here, however be aware that these are not exhaustive.

New article creation can be difficult, but the Article Wizard can help you. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems. You can also ask for help at the Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk, and on IRC chat. Sometimes it is better to first gain experience by fixing and helping maintain existing articles. Wikipedia:Community portal/Opentask contains links to things that badly need doing, if you are so inclined.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Clearfrienda were:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Does not meet WP:GNG. You have to cite your sources inline - see Help:Citing. Information in the article, especially because this is a living person, must be accompanied by reliable sources. Also, some of the article needs to be reworded to fit a neutral POV.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Michael Manus McGettigan and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

List of Irish people

Please stop repeating your edit at List of Irish people. Repeating edits is known as edit warring and will lead to a block to prevent disruption. Instead, you need to start a discussion at the article talk page and obtain consensus for the proposed addition. The first step would be to wait until an article has existed for a few days to demonstrate notability. Questions can be asked at WP:Teahouse. Johnuniq (talk) 06:20, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnuniq: You are much more generous/kind/forbearing than I. I see this as promotional editing. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 07:08, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We are inexorably closing on/may have already reached DFO's rule of thumb. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 07:16, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Deepfriedokra: I was prepared to write the above but I'm lazy and didn't want to take the time to investigate the deleted Draft:Michael "Maniac Mike" Manus McGettigan and Draft:Michael Manus McGettigan and handle any blow-back from an indef. Feel free to take action. Johnuniq (talk) 08:27, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnuniq: I'll let it ride, but I think there would be no blowback from an indef. I'm not as quick to block as some. @VizualDesperado999: Please stop using Wikipedia for promotional editing. You are already past the threshold . -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 08:32, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm The Banner. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to List of Irish Americans have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Pushing a non-notable person The Banner talk 16:38, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I warned you before that you will be blocked for continuing to add this not notable individual as it is promotional to do so. I warned you that you were beyond the threshold already. As promoting this person is your only purpose on Wikipedia, I will block you now. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:11, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for continuing to promote Michael "Maniac Mike" Manus McGettigan well past final warning. Promotion only account.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:15, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
