Hello, Skropk1, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Shannon Kropkowski, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Shannon Kropkowski[edit]

A tag has been placed on Shannon Kropkowski 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

August 2009[edit]

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. Wikipedia is not the place to post your resume WuhWuzDat 12:51, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've noted the material you placed on the talk page of the above-captioned article and the material which I believe you intended as a rationale for retention of the article in question. Administrators like myself, when assessing articles that have been tagged for speedy deletion, attempt to measure the article against a specific standard that is directly applicable. in this case, I used Wikipedia:Notability (academics) and my assessment is that the subject of the article doesn't meet any of the relevant criteria. I've therefore decided to agree with the individual who tagged the article for speedy deletion. If you have any questions that aren't answered by the above linked article, you might look at WP:Why was my article deleted? or leave me a note.

Judging by the similarity between your user name and the title of the article, you may also want to look at our conflict of interest policy. Accounting4Taste:talk 16:21, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
