Speedy deletion nomination of 肖若微

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 肖若微 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 person or group of people, but it does not 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 "Click here to 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 removed 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, you can place a request here. AllyD (talk) 09:53, 24 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion explanation

Hi Colala!

I'm Peter, a Wikipedia editor and administrator from Melbourne, Australia. Unfortunately "肖若微" has been deleted, not because it was in Chinese (I can read a little Chinese, and I went to the same university as "肖若微") but because it was about about a person who didn't appear to be "notable".

I'll give you an example. Have a look at Douglas Reye. If Wikipedia had been around when Reye was 19, and he started an article that said

Douglas Reye is a 19 year old medical student at the University of Sydney. He was born in Townsville.

it would have been deleted too.

I suspect that "肖若微" might have been about yourself. I'd like to start an encyclopedia about myself, but I'm very not notable.

If you want, I can send you a copy of the deleted page. Please don't let this put you off contributing to Wikipedia! There are lots of things to improve, and you can help.
