Proposed deletion of Gerard Garrett

edit
 

The article Gerard Garrett has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. — JJMC89(T·C) 18:25, 6 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits while logged out. Making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of more than one account or IP address by one person. If this was not your intention, then please always remember to log in when editing. Thank you. — JJMC89(T·C) 14:43, 7 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Gerard Garrett, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. — JJMC89(T·C) 22:54, 7 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Abdotension

edit
 

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

Unreferenced neologism with no indication of notability.

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

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. --Finngall talk 07:07, 9 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Gerard Garrett. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you. — JJMC89(T·C) 23:45, 9 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm NottNott. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Gerard Garrett because it did not appear constructive.

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 removed without delay.

Hello Gigerjv,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Gerard (algabil) for deletion, because it doesn't seem to have any encyclopedic content.

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Gigerjv. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Opus Equite, you may have a conflict of interest. People with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, see the conflict of interest guideline and frequently asked questions for organizations. In particular, please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, its competitors, or projects and products you or they are involved with;
  • instead, propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, the Wikimedia Foundation'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.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing, and autobiographies. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 15:15, 24 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Promotion, advocacy and conflict of interest

edit

I have just read your user page. Editing for the purpose of any kind of promotion or advocacy is contrary to Wikipedia policy, so please don't do it. All Wikipedia content should be written from a neutral point of view. Also, your statement that you will edit about people "with their permission" suggests that you have personal connections to them, which means that you have a conflict of interest in writing about them.
