Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Andrew Hallam

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:Andrew Hallam, 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. creffett (talk) 15:00, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

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.

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.

Paid-editor disclosure

Hi! Your edit history strongly suggests that you have some connection to AES International and/or to people connected to it such as Samuel Instone and Andrew Hallam – you have not made a single edit outside those topics. Our Terms of Use state that "you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation." An editor who contributes as part of his or her paid employment is required to disclose that fact. If you are receiving, or expect to receive, monetary or other benefits or considerations from editing Wikipedia as a representative of an organization (as an employee or contractor; as an employee or contractor of a firm hired by that organization for public-relations purposes; as owner, officer or other stakeholder; or by having some other form of close financial relationship with a topic you wish to write about), then you must disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Elysiumgate. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Elysiumgate|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please say so, here on this page. Otherwise, please make the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you have answered this message. Thank you, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 13:07, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No paid editing

In no way have we been paid directly or indirectly for this page. Andrew is a friend and asked for help on how to write his first Wiki page. In this way we helped, but absolutely no financial gain has been made or will be. Can all the warnings please be removed? --Elysiumgate (talk) 13:29, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I guess you missed the part where the warning also included WP:COI. Please read that. Praxidicae (talk) 15:09, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Who is "we", Elysiumgate? Is there more than one of you, or is that a corporate "we"? Please answer this: do you have or have you ever had a connection to AES International? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:28, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Praxidicae (talk). I'm happy to answer all your questions and have nothing to hide. Elysiumgate is a very old account I believe, and yes we are the owner of AES International. Sam Instone is the CEO. Andrew Hallam asked us for help setting up his Wiki and to be honest, we found it very confusing and simply tried to assist as he is a friend of our CEO. It was not in return for anything, or anything to do with former pages we have tried to set up before for AES and Sam. It was not intended to hide any connections or mislead in any way. I see the article has now been totally stripped back. Is it now acceptable? If we didn't disclose any kind of connection it was a genuine mistake. I hadn't realised the connection to AES was important and am still not sure I know why it is. Thanks for your guidance so far. --Elysiumgate (talk) 16:27, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

April 2020

As previously advised, your edits, such as the edit you made to Andrew Hallam, give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Elysiumgate, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Elysiumgate|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. It does not matter if the financial stake is direct or indirect. It needs to be disclosed before any further edits. Sulfurboy (talk) 15:44, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Sulfurboy. I am very new to this. So I can confirm that we are not being paid directly or indirectly for our edits. We were simply helping out. I have not made any edits since this query began. Is this the disclosure you need or is there somewhere else I should post it? I appreciate your help! --Elysiumgate (talk) 17:20, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Elysiumgate several editors have been through this multiple times with you here and on other talk pages. You have a direct and inherent conflict of interest and you must disclose it. Further, who is the we you continue to refer to? Praxidicae (talk) 17:24, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
