This is normal - it's so that pages pertaining to users can be categorized and differentiated from normal articles. Everyone gets a "User:" before their name.

Speedy deletion nomination of Franklin Akinsete
editIf this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Franklin Akinsete, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
- It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. ⁓ Hello71 15:04, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
Wikipedia is not for writing about yourself
editHi. Welcome to Wikipedia, but it is not a place like Myspace or Facebook for people to write about themselves. It is a quite different sort of site, a project to build an encyclopedia, so it is selective about subjects for articles, and writing about oneself is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at Wikipedia is not about YOU, Wikipedia:Autobiography and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest.
Unlike those on a social-networking site like Myspace, Wikipedia user pages are for the volunteers who are here to help build the encyclopedia to say something about themselves and their Wikipedia activities, if they choose, to assist communication within the project. They are not for substantial content... that is unrelated to Wikipedia.
You can learn more about Wikipedia at the WP:Five Pillars, the WP:Welcome page, and the guide to writing WP:Your first article. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 15:25, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
