I have deleted your user page under Speedy deletion criteria G11 ("Unambiguous promotion").

Wikipedia's user pages are not a place for promoting a group, organisation or company (whether directly or indirectly).

Hello, Julissamedina. You have new messages at Phantomsteve's talk page.
Message added 03:57, 20 July 2011 (UTC). You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

I assume from your message on my talk page (I'll respond here, as that's easier for you - feel free to respond here yourself, as I have this page on my watchlist) that you actually intended on creating an article about yourself, rather than a user page. If that is the case, ignore what I said about user pages, as that is not relevant! What you need to do is consider the following:

1. As you are trying to write an article about yourself, you need to read our conflict of interest guidelines. Writing about yourself is frowned upon, but not forbidden, however...
2. You should read our guidelines about writing in a neutral way. What you had was not at all neutral, but very biased in your own (and the radio station's) favour. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, so we strive for neutrality in all articles
3. To qualify to have an article, you need to meet the notability guidelines:
   1. The General notability guidelines
   2. The Notability guidelines for biographies
   3. The Notability guidelines for radio personalities
4. All information in articles should be verifiable at sources which meet our reliability standards and which are independent of the subject. In your draft which was deleted, the only references/links were to your own website (not independent), Twitter (not generally accepted as a reliable or independent source), Facebook (likewise not generally accepted as a reliable or independent source) and the radio station's website (not independent)

In general, we advise people to not write their own articles (or to get an intern or similar to do it!) but to wait until someone else creates it! I should also point out that if there are negative mentions in reliable sources (such as national newspapers) these would also be able to be put in the article - and if they are sourced, they cannot be removed. As I said above, Wikipedia is an article - we show the positive side to a subject as well as the negative side if there is one. You would have no control over the article about you (whether you or someone else created it), as no editor owns an article. Anyone can edit it

If you really think that you meet the notability criteria I mentioned above, and can provide examples of significant coverage (i.e. not just a mention in a list of names, or a single sentence) in multiple independent reliable sources (independent excludes your website, your employer's website, your management/piblicist's websites, press releases, etc) then your best bet would be to go to Requested articles and ask for someone there to create it (using the references which you would provide at the time of your request).

I hope this explains it a bit more PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 04:57, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

I should also add that there is no mention of you on Hot 97's article on Wikipedia. It mentions Miss Jones (who has had coveage in the NY Times, NY Daily News, etc); it mentions Mister Cee (although the references in his article don't appear to be the significant coverage required, and I may consider nominating it for deletion if I can't find any). However, in neither of their articles are you mentioned. In your draft you mentioned being mentioned in the NY DAILY NEWS as "Drive Time Star and a talent on the Rise" - I tried to find this coverage, but was unable to find it. Could you give the date/page of the article about you, and an indication of how much coverage there was about you (number of sentences or number of paragraphs)?
