Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:The King's CE School, Wolverhampton

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:The King's CE School, Wolverhampton, 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 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 removed 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.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, JohnSmith for Kingswolverhampton. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article The King's CE School, Wolverhampton, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Cabayi (talk) 13:36, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A couple of pointers

Please use wikilinks e.g. [[Denise Lewis]] rather than external links e.g [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denise_Lewis] when linking to other articles on wikipedia.
Wikipedia isn't acceptable as a reliable source for an article.
With regard to your comment "I have taken over the making of the King's CE School wolverhampton wiki" at Talk:The King's CE School, Wolverhampton, please pay very careful attention to the pointers on your conflict of interest given above, and remember it's an article about the school not a page owned by the school.

Hope that helps, Cabayi (talk) 16:52, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
