This template is for use on articles, particularly biographies, that seem to promote the subject.
When to use
An article that merely summarizes the subject's career is okay, as long as it's written in a neutral tone and the subject meets the requirements for notability. This tag is meant for biographical articles that promote the subject. In that way, it is much like {{advert}}.
Usage
The simplest way to add this template to an article is to copy and paste either:
{{Resume-like|date=August 2025}}
or:
{{Resume-like|{{subst:DATE}}}}
at the top of the article.
