Contested deletion[edit]

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because...I am an officer of the Court of the Lord Lyon. I am also a judge. I am simply recording those facts. (your reason here) --86.160.97.208 (talk) 14:50, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your Honor, The tone and the form of how the article is written is definitely looks like promotion. And the fact that you've created article about yourself does not add anything to it, but conflict of interests. Please, either rewrite the article, making it neutral either lets wait for administrator to decide Arthistorian1977 (talk) 16:15, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have reviewed the comments thus far. I respond as follows. I am not a civil servant nor a politician. I am a judge in two tribunal jurisdictions and a prosecutor in the Court of the Lord Lyon which is Scotland's oldest court. I also a solicitor (attorney) admitted to practice in two jurisdictions - England & Wales and Scotland. That information can be verified by checking the roll of solicitors kept by the Solicitor's Regulation Authority and the Law Society of Scotland. My degrees can also be easily verified by checking with the universities concerned.

I am not promoting my business (I also practice as a lawyer). I am simply recording my appointments, academic qualifications and distinctions. Other judge in the UK are listed in Wikipedia. I do not see why I should not. I do not see how there could possibly be "conflict of ins,terests [sic]" as you suggest. Please explain your reasoning. Thank you217.34.49.110 (talk) 07:58, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please, refer to Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Autobiography. Just creating an article about yourself is already a conflict of interests. Again, Wikipedia is not a registrar of office holders. Notability means that there are enough verified sources. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 20:10, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You have not commented upon other judges entries. As you can see from the various footnotes that have been added by other people there are verified sources of my appointment and activities.I originally created the article because someone else had cited my name in the entry for the Court of the Lord Lyon.
