Autobiography. Does not meet notability criteria. Daniel J. Leivick (talk) 18:02, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

• Delete: Certainly does seem to be an autobiography, which raises questions regarding conflict of interest and neutrality. On its own merits, the subject's notability has not been established. --SimpleParadox 18:23, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable architect autobio. Ford MF (talk) 18:38, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

This is the author. I absolutely understand where you are coming from. However I always wish there was more information available on the people that have created our environment and impacted our Society. Edmonton is one of the world's most northernmost Cities on the Globe. Who was the first Architect that lived here? What did he build? Who was the first contractor, doctor or nurse? These people may not have been "notable" but I wish there was some history or record. Why did they even come here? I believe that not only do we owe it to the next generation to provide current factual information on "Notable" people and events but we need to some how document the road that got us there. I am new to Wikipedia but I see even greater potential. I don't know if it is a link to Architects or maybe some sort of link to "Less Notable people" as you may refer to. I have run into so many people in my practice and in my travels that are amazed at what has been achieved in this City but without any knowledge of who did what and when. If it is a third party confirmation of my autobiography, I certainly can get others to verify it. Way up in Edmonton, sometimes you just have to do things yourself to get anything done. Hence the autobiography. If we were not these type of people, Edmonton and Fort McMurray and the Oilsands would not exist.

Thanks for your consideration in any case whether this gets deleted or not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ckidenouye (talk • contribs) 23:40, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

• • Comment: I certainly appreciate the time you took to write this response, but unfortunately Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Also, Wikipedia is not a publisher of first instance, in other words no original research is allowed on Wikipedia. Your autobiography contains both original research and non-verifiable information. You are welcome to add reliably sourced, verifiable information to Fort McMurray, Edmonton, and the Oilsands, but unfortunately your autobiography does not meet the minimum requirements for inclusion in Wikipedia.
