User talk:D1safety

April 2019

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Squad STX, from its old location at User:D1safety/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. Sam Sailor 05:51, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Squad STX (April 8)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Sam Sailor was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

You directly write in the draft Trying to create entry for my summer camp business. Thanks!, but Wikipedia is not for advertising one's business.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Squad STX and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Squad STX, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Squad STX

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:Squad STX, 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. Sam Sailor 05:54, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I am a new user to Wikipedia simply trying to establish an accurate Wikipedia entry for my business in line with other Texas summer camps listed in Wikipedia. I apologize for anything unintentionally "spammy" on my entry. I was having difficulty making the entry. Every time I tried to add an extra line of information or upload a photo, the editor would delete portions of the text I had entered. Anyway, if you have any tips on how to do this (or how to use a summer camp template?) I would be much appreciative. Can I be unblocked and allowed to attempt to make another entry? I will try using a different browser, etc. Thank you for your time! Dustin D1safety (talk) 19:22, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You seem to have a common misunderstanding as to what Wikipedia is. Wikipedia is not a forum to merely tell about a business; that is considered promotional here. This is an encyclopedia, where article subjects must be shown with independent reliable sources with indepth coverage to meet Wikipedia's special definition of notability; for businesses, that is defined at WP:ORG. Wikipedia has no interest in what an article subject wants to say about itself; only in what independent sources state about it. Further, you have a conflict of interest in editing about your own business; please read the conflict of interest policy and the paid editing policy which will explain why it is problematic for you to edit about your own business. If you want to edit about other subjects, subjects for which you have no conflict of interest, please agree to not edit about your business and tell what you will edit about instead. If you are only here to tell about your business, you will not be unblocked and should consider alternative forums. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 19:49, 8 April 2019 (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.

I would add that other summer camps meriting articles does not automatically mean that yours merits one too; please read other stuff exists. Each article is judged on its own merits as to whether it meets the notability criteria of WP:ORG; as such, not every business merits an article here, even within the same field. 331dot (talk) 19:52, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
