copied from soon to be deleted article talk page

Hi, I just got a message about deleting the entry about Jorge Cervantes. I just updated the entry and my name is Jorge Cervantes. I hold all the copyrights on the website, www.marijuanagrowing.com and my books that are listed on the site. I can verify everything.

I was trying to figure out how to make a citation that this is an original living author that makes the statements in the wikipedia entry. I just need to figure out how to do this so that content can be verified. Next I need to figure out how to make more internal and external links to the Jorge Cervantes listing.

If you have any questions please contact me at jorge@marijuanagrowing.com or george@vanpattenpublishing.com

Sincerely yours,

Jorge Cervantes Author/Reporter/Photographer

You would need to find reliable sources external to you (ie not your website) that cite you and uphold your notability, probably under WP:AUTHOR). You should also be cautioned that working on a wikipedia entry about yourself is likely rife with conflict of interest and is discouraged. Also, there's kind of a time lag between when the article was nominated for deletion and your post trying to save it... roughly 2.75 years. It has been deleted in the meantime.
