Welcome!

Hello, Fosterjr, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited was Jon Foster (writer), which appears to be an article about yourself. Writing about yourself is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians.

As this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. We require individuals to meet Wikipedia's definition of a notable person to accept articles about them. A page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

If your contributions to an existing article about yourself are undone and you wish to add to or change it, please propose the changes on its talk page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Simplified Manual of Style
• Guidance for article subjects

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

The reason left by Qcne was: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: John - we've been over this with your last draft Draft:Jon_Foster_(writer). This draft's sources are even worse.

There is no indication you are notable, sorry.

Qcne (talk) 14:06, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Haha ok. I'm realising most of the citations are wrong sorry, shouldn't have published. I had a wikipedia page for many many years which I asked to be deleted because of some wrong information on it. I'm sort of regretting that now ! Any advice would be much appreciated. Could the deleted article be re-instated without the wrong information included? Fosterjr (talk) 14:20, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

I am clearly not very good at this! Fosterjr (talk) 14:21, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Fosterjr. Wikipedia has fairly stringent notability guidelines now and only people who pass this criteria merit an article. In your case it would be [[WP:NWRITER]].

So far, the sources in both drafts (and I've examined every source) do not show you merit an article.

The previous live article that was deleted in 2022 wouldn't be reinstated: it's likely the article was originally created when our notability guidelines were more lax.

Unless you can provide better sources we cannot accept an article about you at this time. Qcne (talk) 14:28, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Got it. No worriws. Thanks Fosterjr (talk) 14:34, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
