Speedy deletion nomination of User:Ramanpreet Singh Sandhu/sandbox

edit
 

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Ramanpreet Singh Sandhu/sandbox, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

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.

Hello, Ramanpreet Singh Sandhu. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. I'm sorry, but a page you created  User:Ramanpreet Singh Sandhu/sandbox has been deleted as meeting one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects of articles must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources which are unconnected with the subject and which provide verifiable information. Someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. Please see WP:CORP for subjects that are groups or companies or organizations. Please see WP:ANYBIO for subjects who are people. Please see Wikipedia:Common sourcing mistakes (notability). Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Adventure is a useful tutorial.

Also, encyclopedia articles must be neutral in tone and not use language that promotes or advocates for a subject, or tries to cast the subject in a favorable light. Please see Information on content and common pitfalls to avoid here and here. Sometimes creators of promotional/advocational content are bewildered that it is considered such. If one has been trained to write such content, or if one has spent some time writing such content, one may simply be blind to non-neutral phrases or styles.

A common assumption is that the prohibition against promotional editing applies only to businesses or organizations. Anything can be promoted, including a person, a non-commercial organization, a point of view, etc.

CV's/resumé's are by their nature promotional. Writing about oneself or any connected subject is discouraged as the connection can make objectivity difficult. Information on avoiding advocational content and common pitfalls is here and here, however be aware that these are not exhaustive.

New article creation can be difficult, but the Article Wizard can help you. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems. You can also ask for help at the Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk, and on IRC chat. Sometimes it is better to first gain experience by fixing and helping maintain existing articles. Wikipedia:Community portal/Opentask contains links to things that badly need doing, if you are so inclined.

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article, or a draft for a Wikipedia article, about yourself, at User:Ramanpreet Singh Sandhu/sandbox. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please 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 Notable people who have edited Wikipedia). If you wish to add to or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's 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 the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. Thank you. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 08:17, 3 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Memorials of the Great Patriotic War in Aksay region, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. —asparagusus (interaction) sprouts! 14:13, 6 March 2024 (UTC)== Contested deletion ==Reply

First and foremost, I would like to emphasize the significance of my biography within the Wikipedia community. The content of the article accurately reflects my background, achievements, and contributions, which I believe align with Wikipedia's guidelines on notability. Throughout my career in [mention relevant fields or positions], I have endeavored to make meaningful impacts, and the inclusion of my biography serves to document these efforts for the benefit of Wikipedia's readership.

Clearly you have not read the guidelines of Wikipedia. No one is interested in your biography unless you can demonstrate that you are notable, and in any case, you have a conflict of interest and what you have written does not conform to the neutral point of view policy, which is one of the main pillars of Wikipedia. All you have done with this objection is to demonstrate that you don't understand what this project is about. Deb (talk) 14:41, 3 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Please read the deletion notice I left for when you created this self promotional content in your sandbox. Thanks -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 15:35, 3 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Deb: This is my day off, so not doing much, but I wonder if, in light of the education I already provided and other discussion, three recreations of previously deleted content does not warrant an indefinite block for promotion only account. Best, -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 16:18, 3 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
They'll certainly get one if they do it again. It seems like a case of ignorance - would you agree that the wording of the statement above looks like a template someone has given him (especially the bit in square brackets)? Deb (talk) 17:08, 3 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Deb:Indeed. There's a lot of that about. I remember being mocked for editing Wikipedia. Now it supports a secondary industry of self-proclaimed experts on a number of subjects who produce a plethora of (useless) templates. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:18, 3 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
And it's all pointless! Seriously - if they spam again I'll happily block, if someone doesn't get there first. Secretlondon (talk) 17:41, 3 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
I've blocked indefinitely after today's self promotion and WP:ARTICLEHIJACK spree. Never before saw the like. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 15:13, 6 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
