From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wikipedia would rather you didn't create articles about yourself or your friends. We're building an encyclopedia here, and it's very unlikely that your article fits in with that.
The website MySpace specialises in free hosting for ordinary people. If you already have a site there (and especially if you only have a site there) then you don't need an entry in an encyclopedia as well.
We have criteria for speedy deletion that say what we can and can't delete. Your article would have fallen under one of those criteria. You're not the first to create an article here that gets deleted, so it's nothing personal. You're not the last either, sadly.
The Wikipedia policies on these articles can be reviewed here and here and the reason your article was deleted can be reviewed here.
No. The rules about notability were developed over years, by hundreds of editors coming to a consensus. I'm not going to overturn that - if nothing else, someone else will come along and delete the article a few minutes later anyway. And the rules are quite simple, really - you just have to assert some degree of true notability. If you can't do that, you can't come in.
It doesn't work that way - the existence of one article doesn't create a precedent for creation of another. But you can nominate the other person's article for deletion by editing it and putting {{subst:afd1}}
at the top and following the instructions that appear when you save the article.
There's a queue, so you'll need to join the end of that. Also, since I didn't break any rules, there won't be much support elsewhere on Wikipedia, but you're welcome to try elsewhere.
Did that headline shock you? Well, the first time someone said it to me, I was shocked too. No more, I'm afraid. You are now welcome to try try to track me down. To give you a clue to help you, I'm to be found in Europe.
