[edit] Your article about yourself
The article you created at David gorcey 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. Akradecki 18:45, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
I must apologize on behalf of the other editors at Wikipedia... the article could not be an "article about yourself", as the subject is deceased. You may have caused confusion by picking a username similar to the actor you are writing about. I've re-created the article at David Gorcey. Please feel free to make improvements to this article.
