Welcome!

[edit]

Hello, Caitylifefan, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Draft:Caitylife, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Caitylife, 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.

Sorry to nominate your first page for deletion. We appreciate your enthusiasm, but please be aware that Wikipedia requires topics to be sufficiently notable - by Wikipedia's definition - for inclusion. In general, a subject is considered notable if it has received significant coverage from multiple sources that are considered reliable and independent of the subject itself. In the case of a person, they must meet Wikipedia's notability criteria for people; and in the case of a person who is currently alive, an article must follow Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons.
A source is considered reliable if it has an established reputation for fact-checking and editorial oversight. This heavily favours mainstream news organizations, academic press, and reputable publishers of books, newspapers and magazines. Social media sources are by definition made of user-generated content that is self-published; therefore, they lack the required editorial oversight and independence. This disqualifies almost all social media sources, including (but not limited to) Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tiktok, etc. An exception to this rule would be the official social media account of an existing reliable source (for example, CNN).
Your draft article only includes this person's own social media as sources. Therefore, it does not show that this individual is sufficiently notable for inclusion. Try not to get discouraged... creating new articles is one of the most difficult tasks for a new user. Try reading through the welcome message at the top of this page, and following some of the links to learn more about Wikipedia and the process of editing articles. We hope that you will stay and make constructive contributions to the project. Best of luck. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 04:57, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
