Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Draft:The Central Banks (Website). While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

Draft:The Central Banks (Website) has been deleted
Hello, Thesireofplebs. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. Draft:The Central Banks (Website) has been deleted as meeting WP:CSD#G11, as it was seen as unambiguous advocacy/promotion 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. This article needs to be rewritten from scratch from reliable, third party sources unconnected to the subject. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It is not an outlet for promotion, advocacy, or advertising

Information on content and common pitfalls to avoid can be located here and here, however be aware that this is not an exhaustive list. Pages can sometimes avoid these pitfalls and still be seen as an ad copy or unambiguously promotional, particularly if the editor appears to be a paid editor or has some other conflict of interest. Please review these policies, including the FAQ page on organizations to determine if this applies to you.

Common mistakes or beliefs about promotional editing center on the assumption that promotional editing only applies to promotion for commercial gain. Some tags or G11 nominations are met with confusion by creators, particularly if they spend much time reading or creating corporate documents, mission/vision statements, or similar copy for their organization. The frequent exposure to promotional tone may make it difficult to notice non-neutral phrases or styles, as the editor has grown accustomed to seeing it as everyday writing or speech. This can be difficult, but not impossible, to unlearn.

Another common assumption is that the prohibition against promotional editing applies only to businesses or organizations. Anything can be promoted, including a person, a non-commercial organization, a point of view, etc. and CV/resumé's are by their nature promotional.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources that are unconnected with the subject and providing verifiable information. That generally means someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. Please see this page on citing sources. This page has templates you can use in citing your sources. Place the template {{references}} at the bottom of the page, and references cited in the text will appear there. New article creation can be difficult, but the Article Wizard can help you. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems. You can also ask for help at the TEAHOUSE

Welcome!

Hello, Thesireofplebs, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:

Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with what Wikipedia is and is not.

Wikipedia is not a promotional/advertising/directory, news, forum, blog/webhost, or social networking site.

Wikipedia is not a site where you create a profile and write about yourself or your company/organization.

Wikipedia is, instead, a place for serious, collaborative, scholarly assembly of knowledge into high-quality encyclopedic articles about notable subjects, with verifiable references to independent reliable sources. Many people come here with other expectations and have a difficult time as a result.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by adding a space and four tildes to the end of the last line of your post, like this:

This is the last line of the post. ~~~~

The tildes will be automatically converted to a signature that contains your linked username and a timestamp to help keep conversations organized. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask at the Teahouse, ask me on my talk page, or click here to ask for help here on your talk page and a volunteer will visit you here shortly. Again, welcome! —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 22:54, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"How do I get a page in Wikipedia about myself or my creation"

There's an old joke in banking.

In the United States, prior to the late 20th century, the "joke" in banking circles was "Question: How do you get a loan? Answer: prove you don't need the money."

When it comes to articles about yourself, companies you are involved with, or things you created or which you are involved with, this pretty much holds true for Wikipedia, except it's not a joke. Until reliable, independent sources have, on their own initiative, covered the topic in-depth, it has no place in Wikipedia. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 🎄 22:56, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
