Speedy deletion nomination of Sinem Banna

Hello Misshavisham,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Sinem Banna for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

COI

If you have a conflict of interest, you must declare it. I note your comment "Nor do I know the artist personally." Yet you claim that the two images are your own work! Either you have met and photographed her, or the posed camera-produced images are not your own as claimed and are copyright violations. Please tell me which is correct.

I also note Cwmhiraeth's comment about you adding 13,532 bytes of correctly formulated text at the very first edit you had ever made to Wikipedia. This type of behaviour is typical of a "conflict of interest" editor who has a connection with the subject of the article. Such people are required by the Wikimedia Foundation to declare their CoI. You have not done so and I find it impossible to believe that your carefully crafted article was the work of a complete novice. Another reason that I think it likely that you have a conflict of interest is that you have included several photographs of the subject in the article which are your own work, ranging over the time period 2004 to the present.

If you work directly or indirectly for her or an affiliated organisation, or otherwise are acting on their behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. If you are paid directly or indirectly by her or an affiliated organisation, or otherwise are acting on their behalf, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Misshavisham. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Misshavisham|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message.

If you insist that you have no conflict of interest, or don't reply, I'll delete the portrait images as posted with a false licence. If you do have a COI, please clarify the nature of that COI as requested above.

Note that the third image is likely to have to be deleted for reasons unrelated to COI. Greek law does not allow freedom of panorama, so even if it really is your photo, it can't be used unless we have verifiable evidence that the artist herself has released "Shadow at Noon" as public domain. Please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you have permission to use the image isn't sufficient.
