Local Development and Reforms Center page deletion
[edit]Hi, thanks for message. The different language Wikipedias operate independently and have different rules. I'm not familiar with the Ukrainian version, but I know that the en-wiki rules are stricter than most. I deleted your article because
- it did not 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, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the organisation claims or interviewing its management. You gave no in-line references, and your only links were to the organisation and its FaceBook page, obviously not independent sources
- it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: long-term work and experience in all regions of Ukraine... of high quality and reliable information... expert. there is also a long and completely unreferenced list of supposed achievements
- it's all about what the organisation's aims and objectives, little factual content. To show notability you need hard verifiable facts such as the number of employees, funding and expenditure.
- there shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections. that's particularly the case when they are spamlinks to your sites
- the article was a copyright violation of this page. 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. The page you copied said © 2016 Центр реформ та місцевого розвитку, obviously not public domain. 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. But in any case the copyrighted text is far too promotional to be useful for Wikipedia's purposes, so there would not be any point in your jumping through all the hoops that are required.
- If you have a conflict of interest when editing this article, you must declare it. In particular, if you are an employee or otherwise paid directly or indirectly by the organisation, you 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, and if it does not, 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 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:Vistun. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:
{{paid|user=Vistun|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}
. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Please do not edit further until you respond to this mess

Speedy deletion nomination of Andriy Ginkul
[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 Andriy Ginkul requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
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. HeartGlow (talk) 03:25, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
