Hello, CircoloGlobal1, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Draft:Ebasho Co., Ltd., may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Ebasho Co., Ltd.

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Ebasho Co., Ltd., requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

COI

edit

You have an obvious conflict of interest and you must declare it. If you work directly or indirectly for an organisation, or otherwise are acting on its behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. If you are paid directly or indirectly by the organisation you are writing about, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:CircoloGlobal1. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=CircoloGlobal1|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message.

Also read the following regarding writing an article

  • you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the organisation claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls
  • The notability guidelines for organisations and companies have been updated. The primary criteria has five components that must be evaluated separately and independently to determine if it is met:
  1. significant coverage in
  2. independent,
  3. multiple,
  4. reliable,
  5. secondary sources.
Note that an individual source must meet all four criteria to be counted towards notability.
  • you must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic.
  • there shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
  • you must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. You must also reply to the COI request above Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:45, 20 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your comments on my talk page.

  • You shouldn't take the COI issue lightly; many articles are created by employees or PR companies, and every day I block accounts for failing to follow our rules, including not answering the COI question. Your only contribution to Wikipedia was a full article on a company, which is usually a sign of paid editing, and you have talked about our products and services, and our employees, which looks pretty conclusive. I'll say again; if you are employed directly or indirectly by the company, you must make a declaration as described above if you wish to continue editing, so it's transparent. If you claim not to have a COI, then say so, and make it clear why you have chosen to write about the company. If there is a COI and you want me to pretend that I was paid to enter this, fine, I will click the button, no biggie is just evasive, and I'll treat it as failing to answer until you give a direct response.
  • Read what I put about proper references. Most of your text was completely unreferenced (nothing after the lead) and the references you did give were to the company itself and its postings on Bloomberg, not a single independent third-party source as defined at WP:RS
  • You said it wasn't promotional, let's see (all the following is, of course, completely unreferenced)
  • list of services they provide
  • list of products complete with a handy spamlink to the site
  • pure, fact-free spam (1) Under the leadership of CEO Kaoru Shimada, Ebasho’s mission is to be a globally-minded, comprehensive engineering company that combines leading edge technology and creativity to deliver excellence in their projects and earn every customer’s trust through a high level of service and an understanding of their values. They strive to be a company that builds a bridge between people and the environment.
  • pure, fact-free spam (2) Continuously raise the quality, responsiveness, and effectiveness of our products and services... Establish a sustainable 21st century business model that wins customer confidence... Nourish the minds, lives, and careers of our employees, and their families, through their work.
  • Dedicated to quality... plus some unsourced claims about certification.
  • On the other hand, you don't bother with hard verifiable facts to establish notability, such as the number of employees, turnover or profits
  • I might have misunderstood, but you seemed to imply that you translated from the company website. I didn't run any copyright violation scripts since I was deleting as obvious spam anyway, but you need to be aware that a translation of copyright text is still a copyright violation. The company website isn't explicitly PD, Copyright (C) Ebarashoji Co.,Ltd. All Rights Reserved, so you can't copy from it in Japanese or in translation
  • We really need an English info hub on this company. — the company might, you might, but Wikipedia doesn't need it unless it meets our guidelines.

You asked for further guidance. I've given two lots of detailed comments now, read it carefully. You should also look at Wikipedia:Your first article, which walks you through the process, and see Tesco as a reasonable company article that should help with structuring and referencing.
