You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, instead of writing it yourself, as you did at Derega Yaroslav. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

note: this article has been created by a friend of Derega Yaroslav, his former pupil, Andryi Koval'skyi, who knows him for two years. In my opinion Derega Yaroslav fully deserves his place in Wikipedia, because he has made quite a big contribution into the cultural process of Ukraine. Let the world learn more about today's Ukraine! Furthermore I consider his Chinese textbooks to be THE BEST IN THE WORLD of today! I studied Chinese at the College of Foreign Languages in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. And my impression and history was a whole year of complete torture. I fled. I left it. I hated it. It is only when I happened to make acquaintance with Derega Yaroslav and his methods and that I restarted studying Chinese. And it was a fully enjoyable success!!! As for the other remarks, all will be done in accordance with Wikipedia rules. Step by step.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. JamesBWatson (talk) 22:04, 16 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Promotional article with no evidence of notability

In my opinion Derega Yaroslav fully deserves his place in Wikipedia, because he has made quite a big contribution into the cultural process of Ukraine. Let the world learn more about today's Ukraine! Furthermore I consider his Chinese textbooks to be THE BEST IN THE WORLD of today! I studied Chinese at the College of Foreign Languages in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. And my impression and history was a 3 years' torture. I left it. I hated it.

As for the other remarks, all will be done in accordance with Wikipedia rules. Step by step.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

edit
 

The article Myroslav Popovych has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

Speedy deletion nomination of Myroslav Popovych

edit
 

If 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 Myroslav Popovych requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, 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. Under 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 this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance 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.
