[edit] Re: Notability
Hello – thanks for the message. The notability standards for people require independent, verifiable, reliable sources about the person in question. Self-published information, like the person's own website, do not count unless the information can be verified independently. If the only source about you is yourself, readers can't verify it. IMDB is not considered a reliable source because it can be edited by other people, it frequently contradicts itself, and it is often used as a resume instead of a collection of verifiable facts.
Furthermore, we discourage autobiographies due to the implicit conflict of interest between author and subject. If your achievements are indeed verifiable and genuinely notable, someone else will create an article about you sooner or later. Wikipedia is not a directory or a place to post a resume.
Frankly, an article about you will not survive a deletion discussion. You're not notable, at least not yet. If you become notable, an article can always be created some time down the road, when someone has noticed you and wants to write it. Thanks again for the message. - KrakatoaKatie 20:57, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
