Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Le Grand Mag

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:Le Grand Mag, 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. Whispering^(t) 17:57, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

COI

You have an obvious conflict of interest, thank for declaring it. If you work directly or indirectly for an organisation, or otherwise are acting on its behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all.

Also read the following regarding writing an article

• you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the organisation claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls
• you must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic.
• there shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
• you must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. You must also reply to the COI request above Jimfbleak - talk to me? 19:12, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for message on my talk page. Because you have declared your COI, you are allowed, although discouraged, from writing about your magazine without being blocked. If you appear not to be following our guidance, you can still be blocked.

First, you need to establish that your magazine is notable enough for an article. WP:Notability (books) is probably the best guidance. If it's not notable, it can't have an article here, You will also need to find genuinely independent verifiable sources as defined above. Take care when using similar articles as a template, they may be as bad or worse than yours, but avoided scrutiny. Fantastic and Playboy (latter contains nudity) are good quality articles which may be of help. Note that the cover and other pictures in those articles are out of copyright. You will not be able to post images from your publication, see the copyright guidance above, except as fair use, see File:Aquarium_Fish_magazine.jpg Otherwise, just make sure you follow our guidance. You should write your article as a decent competitor might write it, without a hint of promotional language Jimfbleak - talk to me? 11:39, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
