Speedy deletion nomination of MGN events

[edit]

Hello Social Moth,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged MGN events 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. Thanks!

Hi Darren,
I'm new to Wikipedia, but have tried to keep the page as factual as possible - I've removed some content that may have been perceived as advertising or promotional language. Would you mind giving the article another look? Also, any advice on what I can do to make the page less promotional would be greatly appreciated if you have the time?
I've tried to keep the page as simple as possible and have used the listing on Wikipedia by GL events as an example.
many thanks Social Moth (talk) 12:45, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you have a conflict of interest, you must declare it. If you work directly or indirectly for an organisation, or otherwise are acting on its behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. If you are paid directly or indirectly by the organisation you are writing about, 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:Social Moth. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Social Moth|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. Also read the following regarding writing an article:

  • you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation or company, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, logs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company or organisation claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls
  • The notability guidelines for organisations and companies have been updated. The primary criteria has five components that must be evaluated separately and independently to determine if it is met:
  1. significant coverage in
  2. independent,
  3. multiple,
  4. reliable,
  5. secondary sources.
Note that an individual source must meet all four criteria to be counted towards notability.
There are no real facts. From your text, it has no headquarters, offices, staff, management structure, income or expenditure. For all we are told, it could be just the two founders working from home.
  • You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.
  • The whole text is a fact-free promo, telling us what the organisation claims to do ... a focus on providing comprehensive luxury event planning services... is recognised for its expertise in curating and organising a diverse range of events No evidence, of course, that its actually done anything at all.
  • There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
  • You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:57, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
