I wish to add a person (Richard Gage) to Wikipedia. I have posted the text on him in the Discussion panel for the pertinent article (9/11 Truth Movement). The text has been there for several days, without any comments.

How should I proceed?

You can create a new page by typing its name in the search box and use the "Create the page" link in the result page. Please note that Wikipedia has quite a strict policy regarding biographies of living people, see WP:LIVE, if the article doesn't meet criteria, deletion will follow.

Signature only needed on talk pages[edit]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I've noticed that you've been adding your signature to some of your article contributions. This is a simple mistake to make and is easy to correct. For future reference, the need to associate edits with users is taken care of by an article's edit history. Therefore, you should use your signature only when contributing to talk pages, the Village Pump, or other such discussion pages. For a better understanding of what distinguishes articles from these type of pages, please see What is an article?. Again, thanks for contributing, and enjoy your Wikipedia experience! Thank you.

AfD nomination of Richard Gage[edit]

I have nominated Richard Gage, an article you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Richard Gage. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
