Self created article with no claim to notability, a programmer who runs an advice blog and boasts 250 customers doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG and there are no sources cited. Speedy deletion tag was removed by Ammarpad so here we are. Melcous ( talk) 11:11, 24 November 2017 (UTC) reply

• Delete Doesn't pass WP:GNG or WP:BIO. No claim of significance within the article either. Article created by an editor known as AbdullahOfficial; speedy removed twice by an IP and then once again by Ammarpad, but I don't know why. Perhaps Ammarpad can clarify if we're missing regional sources, in which case I may reconsider my !vote. Thanks, Lourdes 11:15, 24 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Hi, @ Lourdes: Sorry if my removing of A7 tag bother you much, but as per as the WP:CSD policy, any editor (save creator) can remove speedy tag if he believes it doesn't apply. I explain more here, since this is AfD page. Thanks.  —  Ammarpad ( talk) 11:54, 24 November 2017 (UTC) reply
• Delete as I wholly agree with the nom, only that I think (may be wrongly) that it can't be A7'd.  —  Ammarpad ( talk) 11:56, 24 November 2017 (UTC) reply

• Delete Wikipedia is not Linkedin. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 19:51, 24 November 2017 (UTC) reply

• StopDELETE! Hello ladies and gentlemen, Thank you for your interest in developing Wikipedia

I know that Wikipedia is not LinkedIn, but I have created this article as a biography of a person of importance in his country and famous for his specialty. My comment to your audience is that today we find in Wikipedia 10,000+ profiles for people who may be less important or higher than me. If you see my profile contains something against the Wikipedia rules please mention it or modify it This page is for you but I do not think my page contains anything outside the Wikipedia rules Hope you a good day . AbdullahOfficial ( talk) 7:39, 25 November 2017 (+2:00)

@ AbdullahOfficial: While you're correct in your statement regarding other profiles on Wikipedia, this is not a valid reason to keep the page in question: the page other stuff exists explains this in detail. Unfortunately, the article appears to fail Wikipedia's General Notability Guidelines. In addition, it appears from your user name and your editing history that you may have a personal connection to the subject of the article: if you haven't already done so, please read our guidelines for managing conflicts of interest to help you understand how to behave in relation to this. Regards, ~dom Kaos~ ( talk) 10:53, 25 November 2017 (UTC) reply

Ok, ladies and gentlemen, if this thing bothers you and outside the Wikipedia laws, I apply to delete my account and my page in Wikipedia.

Thank you @ ~dom Kaos~ , @ John Pack Lambert , @ ~dom Kaos~ ... — Preceding unsigned comment added by AbdullahOfficial ( talk • contribs) 11:07, 25 November 2017 (UTC) reply

@ AbdullahOfficial: please don't feel that you have to delete your account. Wikipedia benefits from the fact that so many diverse people edit it, and you are welcome to stay and contribute, as long as you continue to stick to our guidelines. Please also feel free to visit Wikipedia's Teahouse, where new editors can find support from more experienced Wikipedians. Regards, ~dom Kaos~ ( talk) 11:53, 25 November 2017 (UTC) reply

Thank you @ ~dom Kaos~ again for your reply. Before I list my page in Wikipedia, I have learned how to write a CV correctly without mistakes, even if you now see my resume you will see that everything was written correctly with all the information added. Experienced managers will not contribute effectively to the development of Wikipedia where I see daily. Many managers and supervisors delete entire articles or change them according to their personal opinions.

AbdullahOfficial, the problem is that Wikipedia is not the place to post your CV, even if it is written correctly as a CV. The appropriate place for that is a site like LinkedIn. Wikipedia is a place to write encyclopedia articles, and only for subjects that have received sustained in-depth coverage in published sources, usually things like books, magazines and newspapers. It does not appear that you have yet received this type of coverage, and so you do not yet qualify for a Wikipedia article. GMG ^talk 12:41, 25 November 2017 (UTC) reply

GMG Perhaps your words are only To implement Wikipedia laws. No more. Although I see many articles in Wikipedia, it is a biography of designers, programmers and photographers. Perhaps if we talking more, the discussion would not end. What did you decide about my page? If your decision is to delete the page, please delete it now I was happy to talk with you, I wish you a good day — Preceding unsigned comment added by AbdullahOfficial ( talk • contribs) 12:52, 25 November 2017 (UTC) reply

Please note that all the articles you see here are not written by their subjects, they are written by volunteers because they are notable. When you are notable, one day someone will write one about you, but inordinate insistence to have article about you may amount to narcissism. You should understand Wikipedia is an educational project it is not social media ,– Ammarpad ( talk) 13:03, 25 November 2017 (UTC) reply
