Avoid writing about yourself on Wikipedia

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article, or a draft for a Wikipedia article, about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please see our guideline on 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 Notable people who have edited Wikipedia). If you wish to add to or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's talk page. 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 the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. Thank you. asilvering (talk) 17:18, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Herbert Forthuber

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Herbert Forthuber, 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, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. ~Anachronist (talk) 17:42, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Writing a draft correctly

I will add that you need to read and comprehend three documents:

• WP:BACKWARD - you are writing the draft backward, and you need to do it forward
• WP:Golden Rule - you need to follow this before you can write a draft forward
• WP:NPOV - you are not writing from a neutral point of view and you must do so if you want your draft published

Please try again. ~Anachronist (talk) 17:42, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

I will add that IMDb is not an accepted reference. David notMD (talk) 18:03, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
