I have read the information about why my article was deleted and still have questions.

Dear Wikipedia Editors,

I understand the need to maintain the integrity and relevance of content on Wikipedia. However, I would like to highlight that there are numerous artist biographies and related information available on the platform that may not seem immediately relevant to the naked eye. As many other artists have done, I aim to offer similar content online to provide transparency and accessibility to those interested in my work.

While I already have my own website where detailed information about my artistic journey and accomplishments can be found, I believe that having a presence on Wikipedia adds a layer of credibility, particularly for the general audience browsing the web. While I acknowledge that Wikipedia may not hold the same weight in academic circles, it serves as a valuable resource for individuals seeking information on various topics, including contemporary artists.

I respectfully request reconsideration of the deletion of my page, as I believe it contributes to the diversity of content available on Wikipedia and enhances the platform's utility as a source of information for the broader public.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

@McManuEspinosa: I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the purpose of Wikipedia. It is not a social media site that you might use to gain an audience. It is an encyclopedia about notable topics. Notability is generally established by coverage in independent sources, not a personal or company website. As one admin wisely said, if the only person who cares enough to write about you is you, then you probably aren't notable. If your accomplishments are legitimately notable, someone else will write about them. TornadoLGS (talk) 19:13, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for sharing. Kindly suggest me how to write about our company. As right now we have website only. If articles about us are published other than our webiste. Then it might help. PuneetBDM435 (talk) 19:16, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

@PuneetBDM435: If all there is about your company is the company's own website, then it does not meet Wikipedia's notability criteria and does not qualify to have an article. TornadoLGS (talk) 19:20, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

I am an new and I was creating the page for my company. But to my surprise, my work is deleted. May I know the reason. I am just adding the details of my Company and what they do. PuneetBDM435 (talk) 19:07, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

@PuneetBDM435:My reply is that you are very confused, but then again, to the uninitiated, Wikipedia can be quite confusing. While Wikipedia is intended to be a source of information, it doesn't exist for the purpose of promoting commerce. Additionally, it doesn't exist for the purpose of collecting details about everything somebody might want to find out about or have a question about. This is a little bit vaguer issue, which is where "notability" comes in. Effectively, it's a filter to avoid a situation where everybody or every business or everybody in the academic world who was an author on a paper or everybody who's ever been on Jeopardy gets the right to have an article on Wikipedia, and (IMO) it has a lot to do with verifiability. If somebody or some business isn't getting any kind of coverage by a reliable source, then there's no way to verify any claims.

So I would say that that's really the rub, and even though there may be some factual claims that could be established, this just isn't enough. Note that not everybody will necessarily agree with me, but this "notability" rule is something that's been established, and if somebody attempts to create an article on something for which there is not sufficient coverage from enough reliable sources, then the article will not be allowed. I will note that this is my personal view, I don't claim this precisely represents Wikipedia policy, it's just my understanding and explanation for how and why Wikipedia works the way it does.
