Hello, EGOeditor, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like MyCeliacID, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of MyCeliacID

A tag has been placed on MyCeliacID, 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, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

FYI conflict of interest guideline

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article MyCeliacID, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you.

MyCeliacID article

Can I suggest moving the article off your talk page and into a sandbox page? It'll make it a lot easier to work on and clutter up your talk page a lot less. It'll also develop its own comments page, which will make it easier to segregate comments about the article from the rest of your talk page. If you're unsure of how to do this, simply respond to this entry and I'll do it whenever I notice the response. Just after a quick glance, I have a few minor changes and a couple of comments, but I really dislike doing them on a talk page, and don't have time right now in any event - I'll probably have a more thorough go at it tonight or tomorrow. --RobinHood70 (talk) 20:52, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Okay, as promised, I had a look at it and left my comments on the new sandbox's talk page. --RobinHood70 (talk) 23:09, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

MyCeliacID article help need

{{helpme}} Please check User:EGOeditor/MyCeliacID to see if it meets Wikipedia's standards. I've had my article deleted a few times already, so I'm seeking help to improve the article. Make any changes that you think will allow the article to survive when it is re posted.

Thanks.

At first glance, I would say that it could use a few more citations to secondary sources which establish the notability of this particular test. Plastikspork (talk) 21:53, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Looking through it a bit more, I would say that it still reads a bit too much like an advertisement. Part of the reason for this is the lack of citations to secondary sources. The answer may be to shorten it a bit as well. It would be great to see links to tests performed by independent labs, assessing the efficacy of the test. I will leave the {{helpme}} link in case there are others who can provide more input. Plastikspork (talk) 22:06, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

I have reviewed your article.

Before I start, I would suggest that you follow some of the tips in the 'Welcome' message above, and work on other articles, before you create this one. By doing so you will learn more about the way Wikipedia works, and will have less trouble with your new article.

That said, I will now explain the problems - I hope you won't be put off by this; that's why I suggest working on other things first. I am trying to help you, and am only saying these things to prevent you from creating the article, having it deleted, getting annoyed, and giving up - that happens too often :-) Please stick with it for a while.

1. Notability - your article does not assert the notability of the subject. The only links are to primary sources - this is not enough; to assert notability, you need secondary reliable sources, such as a national newspaper, etc. Please read about verifiability.

2. References - all facts given in the article must be referenced. Think of it this way - the reader must be able to check the facts for themselves. For example, if you cite a newspaper or book, it would be possible for a reader to obtain the paper/book and check the fact for themselves. Unfortunately, if you cannot find reliable secondary sources for information, it cannot be put on Wikipedia. For example - I could say that I was the Queen of Sheba, and create an article about myself - but that would not be permitted. I could also create a myspace page about myself and my Queenhood, and cite that - but that would still not be sufficient. I would have to wait until the BBC News picked up on my Queenhood, and wrote a story about it. Then, I could cite the BBC article and create my page.

3. Some of the wording is not appropriate, for example, "along with the dedication of more than 4,000 volunteers" - the use of the word dedication is an opinion, not a fact. We call these peacock terms.

4. I have concerns over a conflict of interest. Are you involved in the organisation? If not, please disregard this paragraph; if so, you should not create the article yourself, and should not edit the article directly in mainspace. Instead, you should work on it in your user area, and, when you are ready, add it to the requests for article creation. This is explained in two other documents that you should read carefully; WP:BESTCOI and WP:BFAQ.

As explained at the top of this message - I really do hope that this will not put you off editing, and I hope you understand why all of these policies and guidelines are necessary.

If you did create that article as it is, it would be deleted very quickly - I am trying to help you to avoid that.

Best wishes,  Chzz  ►  20:20, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
