Speedy deletion nomination of Randy Bean

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 Randy Bean requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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.  dalahäst ^{(let's talk!)} 22:33, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

Promoting the work of Randy Bean

Hello, Dauntless23. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

• Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
• Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
• Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.--McGeddon (talk) 08:27, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

July 2015

Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages, as you did with Randy Bean. Doing so won't stop the discussion from taking place. You are, however, welcome to comment about the proposed deletion on the appropriate page. Thank you. McGeddon (talk) 13:58, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Randy Bean, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
• It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia.

Hello, Dauntless23. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Randy Bean, you may have a conflict of interest (COI).

Proposed deletion of NewVantage Partners

The article NewVantage Partners has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:ORGCRITE. The company does have some reliable sitesquoting it. But the red flag is every single of those reliable site's articles has been written by "Randy Bean", who happens to be the CEO of this company. There is also a page about Randy bean which is dubious, but that is a different issue.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

Hello, several 3rd party sources have been added. This is not promotional, it's simply stating facts. Thank you.

November 2018

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to NewVantage Partners. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Daiyusha (talk) 14:14, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I am not adding promotional material to Wikipedia, there are numerous 3rd party sources and I'm simply stating the facts. Thanks very much for your understanding and help!

If I own a company and I myself write about it in various articles, those articles are first party sources, Just like how Randy bean wrote every single article you've given. And now that i've seen the collaboration with thomas davenport, i doubt even he has an interest in the company, so any articles by either of them won't be accepted as a reliable source.

Hello, I'm Deb. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.
