John Sykes Foundation

[edit]

WPContributor123: Please stop trying to ram through a separate article for John Sykes Foundation. There is no indication of separate notability as demonstrated by substantial, in-depth coverage by independent sources. All that's there is local puff pieces and in-house productions. The topic is already adequately covered at John Sykes (British entrepreneur), where I have added some more material. - If you continue to reinstate this article, I will formally put it up for deletion. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 17:41, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Elmidae: Thank you for your comments. I don't understand your call saying that this charity is not worth of separate notability - how many independent sources are needed? Don't question the reliability of this information as the charity is under official government websites to prove it is indeed real. The charity is different to John Sykes (British entrepreneur) and separate information is required that is not appropriate for said article. --WPContributor123 (talk · contribs)

The applicable guidelines are at Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). It's a bit of a heap, I admit, but the gist is this: unless the not-directly-involved world (in this case, someone NOT LOCAL) has multiple times taken significant interest in the topic, it does not rate a separate article. The foundation is clearly a fact of importance in relation to John Sykes, and deserves treatment in that regard - as it is getting in John Sykes (British entrepreneur). It is also sensible to have a redirect at John Sykes Foundation so that people interested in that specific topic can find that treatment. But there does not appear to be sufficient coverage to sustain an individual article at this point. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 15:34, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

[edit]

Information icon Hello, WPContributor123. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the COI guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. GSS (talk|c|em) 03:36, 8 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@GSS: Thank you for raising this inquiry. I can confirm that I have no COI in this case. I just review Wikipedia articles for the sake of my local area, and Sykes Capital came up. Under Companies House UK, the company name officially changed from Atlantis to Sykes Capital.[1] This is the reason for me rewording the article so that his change is apparent. I'll change the article so that it does not appear to be written by a COI, and I would appreciate your input afterwards. Perhaps you would suggest changes to the article so that it does sound like an advert or COI. WPContributor123 (talk) 12:52, 8 June 2019 (UTC)WPContributor123[reply]
