The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Prospect Music Award until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Speedy deletion nomination of Prospect Music Award

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 Prospect Music Award, 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 an unambiguous copyright infringement of https://prospect-music-award.webnode.co.uk/about/. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Ejscanlan. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Prospect Music Award, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. This notification is given in response to your comments and explanation at Talk:Prospect Music Award — CactusWriter ^(talk) 18:49, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Sam Smith, you may be blocked from editing. DanielRigal (talk) 03:22, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use Wikipedia for promotion or advertising, as you did at Arlo Parks. DanielRigal (talk) 03:32, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi Daniel,

I hope you’re doing well.

Firstly, apologies for the inconvenience and trouble caused here. Prospect is a music competition that helps promote new artists that’s been running for eight years. Whereas it’s not as well known as other awards, the artists have of course won them and so the editing is to include those awards in the artist’s pages. We have had interaction from artists via social media and we’re getting more and more support from the industry and from supporters of Prospect year after year. However, I can see why these edits might have been considered as “promotional or advertising material”, but that was genuinely not the intention behind it. I won’t edit any more artist’s pages as a result.

I am however strongly against the deletion of the Prospect Music Award Wikipedia article, but unsure of how to contest it. This is an actual award and the references in question aren’t just taken from internal sources. We’ve had articles written about Prospect that clarify a lot of the points about the 2021 competition with all of the other details available on our website and other sources. While creating the article, my main intention was to get as many sources as possible to prove the points being stated inside the article and because this is a real thing being spoken about with multiple sources of evidence to prove that, I don’t see how the article can be deleted or the fairness in it. On its own, it is not being used for advertising purposes, only to provide information on the Prospect Music Award to those who would like to know more, such as fans or the artists or managers we contact for artists being considered for internal selection. I don’t see how this is breaking any of Wikipedia’s terms or conditions. If you disagree with this then please let me know how they do and give me advise on how to make it work.

Thank you for reading, I hope you consider my notes.

Best,

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistently making disruptive edits.

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 ~~~~}}.  Kinu ^t/_c 05:11, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

Repeatedly editing in a manner that contravenes WP:COI and WP:PROMO, especially after you were advised to stop doing so, is disruptive. --Kinu ^t/_c 05:21, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
