Proposed deletion of Sequestered Capital Theory

The article Sequestered Capital Theory has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The article is undoubtedly violating WP:OR and fringe theory

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. ☆★Mamushir (✉✉) 17:27, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I published this page prematurely before completing many of the academic article links. I have added a great deal of content and I have more to add. Please reconsider and advise.

December 2020

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article about yourself, at David Chandler Thomas. 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 Wikipedians with articles). 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.

I understand, but find it a bit confusing. I found the page about me with some stray comments that were incorrect and sought to correct them with fully cited references. If this is wrong then I apologize and will have someone else do the work to maintain the appearance of impartiality wikipedia wishes to maintain. It seems to me that what other people do then is pay someone to make the edits for them or do so under an alias. Either way, I do not see how this accomplishes the goal of achieving impartiality. I know of firms that have full-time people who edit and maintain information on their executives. Universities do this with staff in the various departments. So if I am unlucky enough to work at a university that does not do this then my work will go unpublished no matter how important it might be. Doesn't it make more sense to judge the worthiness and the work by the actual accomplishments (fully cited with independent references) than play a game of pretending to be independent? Sorry for the rant. Fubman User:dcthomas4679 17:28, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: David Chandler Thomas (December 12)

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

Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at David Chandler Thomas instead.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Two copies of this page have been created, in draft space and in article space. It is not necessary to create two copies of the same page, and it annoys the reviewers. This is sometimes done in order to bypass Articles for Creation review. However, if a submitter is ready to have the article in article space, it can be moved into article space, rather than creating a copy. It is common for a page that has been duplicated in draft space and in article space to be nominated for deletion or proposed for deletion. If the article is kept, this draft should be redirected to the article. If the article is deleted, this draft may be kept for future improvement.

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:David Chandler Thomas 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:David Chandler Thomas, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" 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, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, 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.
