Matthew, please read WP:VAIN. I have nominated 209 and Flava for deletion as falling below the requisite level of notability; regardless, you should be very circumspect when writing about subjects in which you have a close personal interst. Just zis Guy you know? 23:30, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
The article you created at Matt Webb was listed for deletion as An article about a real person that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject, criterion 7 in the criteria for speedy deletion, Articles section. Since it appears to be about you I've moved it to your user space instead, which was probably what you intended in the first place (a common mistake among newcomers!).
If you really did mean to create an article about yourself please be aware that this is often considered a bad idea, even if you do meet the guidelines for inclusion of biographies.
I know Wikipedia can be confusing for new editors, so you are welcome to ask for help at the help desk or on my talk page. Guy 14:42, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use images on your userpage
I have removed the fair use images on your userpage as their use violates fair use criterion nine which states that fair use images can only be used in the main article space. Thanks, mattbr30 22:21, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
