Enquiries about my page

Hi, I attempted to create a Wikipedia page for my new novel, Bones of Contention, using my full name as, Adeola Tope-Fagbolagun as Username. However I got this message that,

‘This page has been deleted. The deletion and move log for the page are provided below for reference. 15:49, 2 January 2013 JohnCD (talk | contribs) deleted page Adeola Tope-Fagbolagun (A7: Article about a real person, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject). I reckon there was something I did which wasn’t right. Would therefore be grateful for your advice. If not could I delete the record, as I don’t think it will be of any use if I ain’t getting it right.

Your assistance would be highly appreciated.

Thank you. Adeola Tope-Fagbolagun (talk) 18:07, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at User:Adeola Tope-Fagbolagun/sandbox. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:24, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello, Adeola Tope-Fagbolagun. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article List of Nigerian writers, you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

• 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.
• Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
• Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
• Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content 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. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:26, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
