A tag has been placed on Frank Emerson Finlayson - Service in the church and community, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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".

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because your account is being used only for advertising or promotion.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 05:02, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

i apologize, but I am trying to construct an article on the Inventor Frank Finlayson. I set it up in my sandbox thinking that as a "sandbox" II could work with it over time to ensure all was ok. Please let me know if this is not the correct process and unblock my account. There is no advertising going on or promotion, and the source citations will be included shortly. Thank you Brucemaxwell27 (talk)

Decline reason:

Per below Daniel Case (talk) 03:25, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

You were not using a sandbox. You were putting multiple articles in mainspace about this individual, and they all had a promotional tone to them. (Articles also shouldn't be written in the first person, and if you were directly copying from something, that is copyright infringement which we also do not permit.) It does not appear that this individual is notable, so it probably won't be possible to write about them, but what references do you have available for them?

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Request reason:

Ah ha- I see - I guess the master summary was in the sandbox but the others were not? Again I apologize, not my intent to have anything in the public view while we work on this article. Regarding the texts, yes these were copied from his autobiography (viewable at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_NBYJryu_areULPuOH3pasjJ5Rdwnxw3/view?usp=sharing), my intent being, as I thought I was in a sandbox, to make edits to update etc. The material is fully sourced and Will index that sourcing. In terms of notablity, Finlayson was the holder of multiple patents that have greatly faciliated home life for the last 80 or so years. A list of his patents can be reviewed here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_7CJEje6G6lX4dXxPpMaTnuNYQUjQr8U/view?usp=sharing Thank you! Please let me know best way to proceed. Brucemaxwell27 (talk) 23:24, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Accept reason:

As per below. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 02:49, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, much of what you wrote was in mainspace. I'm happy to accept your explanation that that was unintended; you can see the help page on subpages for how to make additional subpages in your userspace. Basically, you'll want the page name to be in the format "User:Brucemaxwell27/(subpage name here)". That said, that does not resolve the core issues. First is that Wikipedia does not permit promotion of anyone or anything, including by "talking up". Articles must be strictly neutral in both tone and content. Also, we cannot permit copyrighted and nonfree material to be copied anywhere on Wikipedia, including in userspace subpages, even temporarily. Those two apply even in userspace and are quite non-negotiable. I'm also concerned about what you're seeing as notability there. Wikipedia's definition of notability hinges on there being a substantial amount of reference material available about a subject which meets our criteria for both reliability and independence. An autobiography fails the "independent" criteria, and patents someone has filed wouldn't indicate notability unless secondary sources have confirmed their significance. Now, it is not required to immediately demonstrate a subject's notability when a page is being worked on as a draft, but it would be if the article were to go into mainspace (the encyclopedia proper). So, if there's no better reference material available about this individual, I'm afraid any article would be very likely to wind up deleted regardless.

All that said, if you will agree to refrain from further copyright violations or promotion, just indicate so here and I will unblock you. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 02:08, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, i agree and will review the tutorials as well to ensure that the submission is in compliance. I certainly want the article to reflect the standards of the institution. Thanks for the help here. Brucemaxwell27 (talk) 22:56, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
