Speedy deletion nomination of RFP360
[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 RFP360, 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. scope_creepTalk 23:05, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
September 2020
[edit]
Hello RayChrysler. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to RFP360, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.
Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely 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, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, 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:RayChrysler. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=RayChrysler|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. scope_creepTalk 23:07, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
- I'm not sure I posted my response in the right place, so wanted to provide it here just in case as posted in the RFP360 talk page: "This page is not unambiguously promotional, because I am not being compensated, nor do I expect to be compensated by any company for my contributions to Wikipedia. I am from Kansas City and closely follow software and technology news in my area. I had noticed many of the articles about Kansas City-based technology companies were out of date so I have been updating those. RFP360 has been in the news frequently over the last year, so I thought it would be a good candidate for my first Wikipedia article. I believe that the article is factual, properly cited and non-promotional, but I would greatly appreciate any suggestions to improve the page. I am admittedly very new to Wikipedia and have been doing my best to navigate and learn as I contribute. Thank you for your time and any advice you can offer as I would like to continue to contribute to the Wikipedia community. RayChrysler (talk) 16:33, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article RFP360 is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/RFP360 until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. scope_creepTalk 17:32, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
