Hello, T-Billiam, 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, such as T. William Phillips, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

The article T. William Phillips has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- self-promotion with no real evidence of notability
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:24, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
In order for it to be self-promotion, the author of the article must also be the person about whom the article was written. That is not the case here, nor is there any evidence of this. It has also been stated that there is no evidence of notability when the sources and references are clearly posted on the page. In order to accuse the person about whom the article is written of lacking in notability, you need to present evidence that this is such, just as the author has presented evidence proving otherwise. Please research this article and who it is about a little more carefully before deciding that it lacks notability. T-Billiam (talk) 03:43, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

[edit]You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, instead of writing it yourself, as you did at T. William Phillips. 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. Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 23:01, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to Cherry Creek High School. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. diff Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 23:04, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
- editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
- linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. — Jeff G. ツ 00:03, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

- Hi, the page you made is great, and it may be able to stay on Wikipedia... but it can always be freely edited at any time by any neutral editor. You have to admit that you have a single purpose account with the same name as the subject. Anyway just sit back relax and if it all checks out the page may stay around in some form or another.

- Sorry, it din't check out I think this one will need a Speedy delete Slowart (talk) 06:07, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
In what way did it not check out? I have no problem with people contributing to the page I created, but you need to contribute by adding to it, not just blindly deleting everything. If I must prove and verify that it's necessary to put on the page, then you need to prove and verify that it is necessary to take it off. It seems very unlikely that anyone has had any legitimate reason to be constantly deleting the page. There is some sort of vendetta against it, and it's completely irrational and unwarranted. I would love others to add to the article, but please stop deleting information. There's no reason for it. And yes, I share the name of the article I created because I created a wikipedia account to create an article for a subject I have a great amount of interest in and have done a thorough amount of research on. I didn't think my screen name would be a problem. Should I change it?
- Yes there are legitimate reasons to remove the page you wrote. Notability must be verifiable, the refs in your article are just paid book reviews. DO you have more 3rd party refrences that would tell us about T. Williams Phillips ? Are you T. William Phillips ? You don't have to answer that BTW. But T. William Phillips, uploaded the photo of T. william Phillips, with a licences that say "own work" with account name of T-Billiam. No your account name is not the issue, the simple issue is that, T. William Phillips in not notable, at this time. Please read WP:NOTE especially the part about WP:SPIP Slowart (talk) 15:19, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
Final warning
[edit]Just as you don't write the newspaper and magazine articles about yourself, you also don't write the Wikipedia article about yourself. Of course, if there are factual inaccuracies, you are welcome to point them out on the talk page- or to fix them yourself, as simply as possible, while citing the sources verifying the inaccuracies. It's time to back off, and let neutral parties use the available sources to develop the article. I'd hate to have to block you from editing. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 22:25, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
You're correct. I do not write the wikipedia about myself. Why is this assumed? I'll work on making the article more objective if that's what you mean. T-Billiam (talk) 15:05, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but in this recent edit you removed a speedy deletion tag from Restless Heart (Novel), a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. WikiTome Talk 19:42, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with this edit to T. William Phillips. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. WikiTome Talk 19:45, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
Please do not vandalize pages, as you did with this edit to Restless Heart (Novel). If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. WikiTome Talk 19:46, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
