Speedy deletion nomination of The Wells of Life

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 The Wells of Life, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do.

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. — Smjg (talk) 23:18, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Just saw your comment on the article talk page. I'm replying here in case the page gets deleted in the interim. You may be just starting to write it, but even so, at the moment it's just gibberish. For future reference, there's no point pressing the Save button before you've started writing the content. Still, if the page does get deleted, all you will need to do is recreate it once you have some content for it. As long as what you've written gives a basic indication of what The Wells of Life is and has a credible claim of significance, it's unlikely to be speedily deleted again. (Assuming that it doesn't meet one of the other WP:criteria for speedy deletion.) — Smjg (talk) 23:36, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but I have had to renominate your contribution. The page is written entirely in a promotional style, and would need a fundamental rewrite to be suitable for an encyclopedia. Furthermore, regardless of style, it isn't clear whether you are involved in the running of the organisation, which would make it inappropriate to write a Wikipedia page about it. Please see WP:PROMOTION and WP:COI for more information. — Smjg (talk) 23:54, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Maolson3 Alright. I've done an update on the content page. I hope this aligns more with an encyclopedia style — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maolson3 (talk • contribs) 00:06, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Maolson3. 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 Wells of Life, 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 which forms all or part of work 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. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 04:52, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright, notability and conflict of interest

Thank you for your interest in creating an article for The Wells of Life on Wikipedia. There are multiple problems with your submission. You cannot post copyrighted material on Wikipedia even if you are the copyright holder. In short, a copyright owner cannot offer Wikipedia a one-time license for use. Rather, the copyright to the material has to be released – permanently and irrevocably – into the public domain or under a free copyright license that is compatible with Wikipedia's licenses. This is because Wikipedia aims to be freely distributable and copyable by anyone, so all content must be licensed for that purpose. You can learn more about this policy at Wikipedia:Copyrights.

The second problem is notability. I am not sure the organization you are writing about is notable enough, as Wikipedia defines it, to have an article. We require write-ups in reliable third party sources such as newspapers, magazines, or online publishers to establish notability. New articles about persons or organizations that are not notable are typically speedily deleted.

The third problem is conflict of interest. Writing an article about your own organization or that of a client is strongly discouraged, as it is difficult to maintain the required neutral point of view. Wikipedia does not allow advocacy, no matter how much you believe it to be for a worthy cause.

If you'd like to use the copyrighted content in an article, you can follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission on how to obtain the proper licensing. If you are the copyright holder, refer to Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for how to grant us permission to use your content. Alternatively, you could write a new article that does not closely paraphrase the material available online. However you would then still have to abide by the conflict of interest guideline, and even so, there is a likelihood that the article may be speedy deleted due to lack of notability. 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).

I'm sorry this message could not be more favourable. If you have any questions, you can leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 04:57, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
