Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Naomi Bristow 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:Naomi Bristow, 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.

September 2019 edit

 

Hello GavinoGavv. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Draft:Naomi Bristow, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, 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:GavinoGavv. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=GavinoGavv|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Harshil want to talk? 04:56, 14 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

 

As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:GavinoGavv, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=GavinoGavv|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. Harshil want to talk? 05:06, 14 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

Making new pages is not for newcomers. edit

Hi GavinoGavv,

I see your interest in Naomi Bristow, and the MfD of Draft:Naomi Bristow.

Thanks for trying, but I think you have been ill-advised to start your Wikipedia editing with the creation of a new page on a topic that can be associated with promotion. When you do this, Wikipedians are highly skeptical of you motivations (WP:PAID?), and the bar for acceptance of such new pages is high.

Reading your comments, I think that you do not understand Wikipedia. To better understand it, as an editor, you need some experience. Find some existing articles related to your interested, and improve them. See also WP:DUD. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:39, 17 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

For you to tell me I “don’t understand Wikipedia” is hilarious. You tell me that my sole intention of coming on here is to make this article and leave? You don’t know my intentions with this website. And telling me my article on “Naomi Bristow” isn’t allowed isn’t fair. What do you call articles about Taylor Swift and other artists like that? That is promotion technically. And if you say it is “informational” then so is my article about Naomi Bristow. My article is informational and has 8 sources to back that up with (small article). I believe that I know A LOT more about Wikipedia than you think I do.

  • The draft is OK, see my post at the MfD. Your posts are a bit clumsy. You do not sign your posts, which is a sure sign that you are new around here. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:25, 17 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

I didn’t realize I was supposed to sign my name after every one of my comments/responses to admins on here. If the draft is ok, then why does it keep getting declined? Makes no sense. The reasons I am being given aren’t really true. --GavinoGavv (talk) 13:02, 17 September 2019 (EST)

Someone else is agreeing. Maybe you have been completely right all along, I can't explain my first response. We are all hobbyist volunteers, and sometimes, me at least, post with the brain only half engaged. Upcoming young musicians are frequently spammed on Wikipedia, and I guess there was a knee-jerk reaction and we fell in line with the same reaction. Sorry.
The page is at WP:MFD, where process rules call for a 7 day discussion, so it is stuck there for a few more days.
It is custom to sign with four ~, when posting statements. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:14, 18 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
