I suggest you go and fill in some extra information on some of the article you have created. One-sentence articles are subject to immediate deletion, whether or not the subject is worth writing about. Three or four sentence ones are usually kept. Thanks.

Please have a look at Wikipedia:Manual of Style. There are some key points for writing a good article.

Use the article title in the first sentence. So rather than "He is a photographer" write "Fred J Bloggs (1899-2004) is a Swiss photographer who specialises in taking photographs of mountains at night. He won the Yodeleihu prize in 1977." (I'm making this up of course).
For anyone reasonably famous you should be able to find birth and death dates and nationality for anyone worth of an article.
Make the first use of the article title bold.
If you wrte a short article, please add {{stub}} at the bottom of the article. DJ Clayworth 17:42, 15 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
