Welcome!

Hello, Alezep 11, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Speedy deletion nomination of Ella ochoa

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 Ella ochoa requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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.

I've moved this to your userspace at User:Alezep 11/Ella ochoa so that you can improve the article. The thing to be careful with when it comes to creating new articles is that you need to have the sourcing to establish notability in the article as soon as it's created or very, very soon after you start editing. This lacked sourcing from reliable sources such as newspapers and scholarly sources, which is why it was likely nominated for deletion. Be careful with sourcing, as people aren't automatically notable for having started an organization or participated in something, no matter how major the accomplishments may seem - there has to be coverage for that person. I didn't see a lot out there for this person, so you may run into some issues here unless there's more coverage out there. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:22, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
