From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. The article Adam Burkutally seems a little short on concrete information. There's a good chance it will be nominated for deletion if something isn't added to demonstrate his notability. Joyous (talk) 23:19, July 30, 2005 (UTC)
My other recommendation would be that you provide some outside sources for the information. Joyous (talk) 23:39, July 30, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Adam Burkutallly
You commented "so delete it already."
Normal procedure is for it to be considered for five days. This allows time for people to find out about the VfD, research the topic, improve the article, and so forth. This is very beneficial to some articles and many end up being kept as a result. It's often embarrassing to the contributors of obvious vanity articles. The outcome of this VfD seems clear. If you are Adam Burkutally and you find this embarrassing, just try to stay away from the article and the VfD as much as you can. Shrug it off.
Articles of this kind are contributed all the time and get deleted all the time. Every time you create a new page it warns you "Please do not create an article to promote yourself, a website, a product, or a business (see what Wikipedia is not)," but...
...creating this kind of article is a very common newcomer's mistake. Regular Wikipedians see it all the time. We don't even mind it very much as long as the article creator doesn't make too much of a pest of himself.
If you're interested in contributing to Wikipedia, I suggest you create an account. It makes it easier to communicate. You get a User Page on which it is considered all right to put information about yourself and you get to create any user name you like. Dpbsmith (talk) 11:19, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
