Do not delete this page again. It is of similar nature to MY OWN Bio's and or CV on various Canadian Poet sites including the University of Toronto and is my own writing not plagiarism.

The only problem we tend to find when notable people create pages about themselves is that they can never be 100% objective and they get a bit upset when other users come along and start objectifying their articles. As long as you are open to other people objectifying your article and adding things to it or taking things away I personally don't have a problem though other users may say differently. -- Francs2000 | Talk 17:42, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC) (admin)

[edit] WHAT is going on

This is no different than any other poet or writers page, I can see a couple of items that look pompous but I can edit them out. You might as well delete all the poets in all the lists because they all contain relevent information on the persons accomplishments. Who is saying it is a HOAX?? All information is true. What is unvarifiable? Where is the material used int he accusations.

Presently I am editing and cleaning up many Lists, and poetry and gardening pages, has someone got a grudge because of my editing, Speak up but dont put all this crap on my page. WayneRay 00:29, 20 April 2006 (UTC)WayneRay

I removed the {{hoax}} tag. Somebody got carried away (I'm suspiscious this was a personal grudge maybe). I think the main thing needed, is verification that the subject (e.g. you) is deemed notable. The best way to prove that, is cite various sources, who have written in depth about the bio subject (not just list their work). Any awards, should also be mentioned, with citations. Same goes with any sales information. We have lots of articles on other poets, but we don't, and never will, have an articles on most poets. See WP:BIO for the rules of what we keep. I'm sorry if you've been given a rude welcome at Wikipedia, but also please know, that the bulk of auto-biographies are deleted (not all, but most). --Rob 00:36, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

It's not your page. See WP:OWN and WP:AUTO. Ardenn 00:32, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

If you think somebody wrote an auto-bio, then don't accuse them of a hoax. A hoax would be if they pretended to be Wayne Ray (but weren't), or there was no real Wayne Ray. --Rob 00:39, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
