Contested deletion

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because it doesn't advertise any certain product, service or idea and doesn't contain any link to something like that, but informs about the life and the work of a Software Developer and Author. If this violates Wikipedia's rules then why Mark Zuckerberg's Wikipedia's article doesn't? What About Udemy's wiki page does?) --Fotios Tragopoulos (talk) 23:39, 15 October 2016 (UTC)

Contested deletion

Please also consider checking the personal homepage because the content is not a copy from itunes but from his portfolio and there is not any link showing itunes anyways. And of course is an autobiography, but as a source, as the likes and the retweets shows, is not out of interest.) --Fotios Tragopoulos

Please review Wikipedia:Autobiography and the essay Wikipedia is not about YOU. The Wikipedia community highly discourages you from writing about yourself, because you are incapable of being an objective judge of your own notability.

Your own website is a primary source, but that is not enough to establish that you are a notable person who is worthy of inclusion.

In addition, social media sources are not reliable sources because they consist of user-generated content. We require writeups from third-party sources with a reputation for fact-checking and editorial oversight. --Drm310 (talk) 09:36, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Are there any changes I can do so I will keep the article or should I delete it? Will the same article be accepted if someone else post it (I don't mean my friends)?

I would leave the writing up to others. Alternatively, if you wanted to try the Articles for Creation process, it would let you create a draft article at less risk for deletion. Then you could submit it for review by other uninvolved editors.

In either case, third-party sources are required to verify what is written and establish your notability. Please note that if an article about you is created, you won't have any right of ownership or editorial control over it. Others will be able to edit it, perhaps extensively over time.
