Welcome!
[edit]Hello, CobraMonroe, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

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.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:CobraMonroe
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
A tag has been placed on your user page, User:CobraMonroe, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.
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.

Contested deletion
[edit]This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (All claims proof can be google. Backdates and physical proof for everything mentioned in this article can be submitted upon request) --CobraMonroe (talk) 18:09, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
- Hi CobraMonroe! The issue is not whether the content is true. The issue is that you - using your stage name - appear to be promoting yourself, which is not allowed generally, and certainly not allowed for a user page (see WP:NOTWEBHOST. Its also posted as a user page, not an article - but if you did make an article, there would be two other issues. First, we don't have articles about musicians unless they meet the notability requirements in WP:MUSICBIO. Second, we strongly discourage people to write articles about themselves (see WP:AUTOBIO. If you are a notable musician, then someone will create an article about you eventually. Singularity42 (talk) 18:17, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
Managing a conflict of interest
[edit] Hello, CobraMonroe. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Also, please see WP:OWNTALK. The purpose of this page is to discuss your work on Wikipedia with other editors and administrators. The policies about not putting up self-promotional material still applies.
