Conflict of Interest
editHello LAB1987. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Simon Dolan, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should 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;
- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
- linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
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. The359 (Talk) 23:35, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
- The article is nowhere near Wikipedia standards. The entire thing reads like a bulleted list of highlights attempting to promote him and his companies, with almost nothing written in the style of an encyclopedia. This articles relies too heavily on poor sourcing from blogs or self-published sources, especially primary sourcing. The advice about conflict of interest posted above still stands for yourself and the User:MKT293. The359 (Talk) 15:45, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is not for promotion of people or companies. We are an encyclopedia. Please read Wikipedia policies on what are reliable sources, since stating that all sources are "legitmate" is pretty much missing the point of what sort of references are necessary for an article in an encyclopedia.

The article Uncovered (magazine) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Promotional article, content almost entirely from three SPAs. No evidence of notability; the magazine failed, and closed after four issues. RS coverage is of pre-launch publicity. No evidence of anything since. WP:BEFORE shows no impact.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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. David Gerard (talk) 17:05, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
