Speedy Deletion Tag

A tag has been placed on Tom brown (exorcist) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. shoy 19:33, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

August, 2012

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to List of organizations designated by the Southern Poverty Law Center as hate groups. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. TechBear | Talk | Contributions 17:37, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not change another editor's comments. You may, however, want to weigh in at the section titled Talk:List of organizations designated by the Southern Poverty Law Center as hate groups/Archive 1#Tom Brown Ministries. Thanks, 72Dino (talk) 18:08, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Right or wrong

If an organisation is listed by the Southern Poverty Law Center, then it belongs in the list here. Just because you think it shouldn't be listed by them doesn't mean you can dispute this here. I'd advise taking it up with them. If you can show that your organisation (I would suggest reading WP:COI based on your username) is not in fact listed by the SPLC, then please produce evidence. It's a matter of 'listed' or 'not listed'. Not 'ought to be listed' or 'ought not to be listed'. Peridon (talk) 20:04, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest: Tom Brown Ministries

Hello, Pastortom2002. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article List of organizations designated by the Southern Poverty Law Center as hate groups, you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Binksternet (talk) 00:03, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Promoting Tom Brown Ministries

Pastortom2002, everything you have contributed to Wikipedia is in some way a promotion, a projection or a defense of Tom Brown Ministries of El Paso, Texas.

Your first edit added an article from tbm.org which is the Tom Brown Ministries page.
Your second and third edits also added tbm.org links.
Your fourth edit continued a Tom Brown vendetta against the El Paso mayor. You summarized the edit as "Mayor Cook is a subject of a recall petition." According to an article in the El Paso newspaper, "Ministry called hate group: Tom Brown rejects label by civil-rights group", Tom Brown was the leader of the recall movement.
In your fifth through eleventh edits, you have vehemently protested the SPLC hate group designation of Tom Brown Ministries. All of these edits point to a deeply serious conflict of interest.

In the future regarding Tom Brown Ministries, please restrict yourself to talk page suggestions rather than article space edits. Binksternet (talk) 00:06, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I failed to note that after your first edit you put an article up about Tom brown (exorcist) but the article was deleted. The following tbm.org links show that minister Tom Brown of El Paso performs exorcisms: "How to Cast Out Demons", "Exorcism: MSNBC documentary featuring Tom Brown and Bob Larson", and "Comments on the MSNBC, The History Channel and ABC 20/20 specials on Exorcism and Hell". The deleted biography effort of yours shows one further promotion of Tom Brown Ministries and emphasizes even more that you are a WP:Single-purpose account. I recommend widening your interests on Wikipedia and, at the very least, adhering to the above-linked guideline for editors with a conflict of interest.
