Speedy deletion nomination of Special flight
[edit]
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 Special flight, 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. Randykitty (talk) 11:27, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

[edit]Hi, thanks for message. If you post an article it will be assessed as it stands. If you don't want that to happen, you should write it as a draft. Your article did not adequately provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to you or your company, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, Wikipedia, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what you claim or interviewing you. Although you gave some appropriate refs, much of your text was unsourced or reffed to inadequate sources, such as French Wikipedia
I deleted your article because
- it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of claims presented as fact include: it is crowned... It is very favorably received by critics... (if you are going to have reviews, they should be in a separate "Reception section" and referenced to aggregation sites like Rotten Tomatoes, not cherry picked by you) is available on the Internet. Much of your article seems to be about extended details about topics that are not directly to do with the film, merely a platform for you to take on your critics and promote your views on the detention system. You should stick to facts about your film. There are far too many quotes, we don't need to know what people say, and you certainly shouldn't quote yourself.
- The images at least appear to be copyright violation, apparently clips from the film. Copyrighted images and text are not allowed in English-language Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text and images posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial but there is no indication that film stills are in the public domain. Text and images are considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text and images to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the images , isn't sufficient. I didn't check how much of the text was copied, although it's clearly quite a bit, and the lack of wikilinks also suggests that
- You have an obvious conflict of interest and you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly. Regardless, since you are paid directly or indirectly by the organisation you are writing about, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Fernand Melgar. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:
{{paid|user=Fernand Melgar|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}.
Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. I suggest you look at Loev (film) to see what a film article should like like. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 16:59, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
