Talk:Shoaib Tantray

Hi there, I see you're wanting to re-create Shoaib Tantray - please do get started on that, as an article talk page without a corresponding article is liable to be deleted under CSD G8 -- samtar ^{talk or stalk} 13:11, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Shoaib Tantray

You are welcome to write an article about Shoaib Tantray, if you can show that he is notable in Wikipedia's sense - more about that below.

I have deleted what you wrote on the talk page - better to have the conversation here because I suggest that, rather than post an article directly, you use WP:Articles for creation to make a draft. That will give you the option to send it, when it is ready, for review by an experienced user, who will either accept it or give you feedback. If you post it directly and it is not suitable, it may be deleted.

So that you do not waste your time, please understand that Wikipedia is not a social-networking site for people to write about themselves or their friends or family; as an encyclopedia, it is quite choosy about subjects for articles. The test for inclusion is called Wikipedia:Notability and looks for references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Youtube, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people not connected with the subject thought him significant or important enough to write substantial comment about? See also Wikipedia:Notability (summary) and WP:Notability (people).

If you want to go ahead, read WP:Your first article for advice. JohnCD (talk) 14:37, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
