Ways to improve Adam D Brown
Hi, I'm Insertcleverphrasehere. Aduanebrown, thanks for creating Adam D Brown!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Inline citations should be added to the sentences that they support, not added at the end of the prose.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Proposed deletion of Adam D Brown


The article Adam D Brown has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Unambiguous self-promotion. Doesn't meet WP:GNG or WP:NPOL."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of Adam D Brown


A tag has been placed on Adam D Brown, 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 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 removed 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. TheGracefulSlick (talk) 06:49, 31 August 2017 (UTC) No

We ask that you remove you request to have this page deleted. Mr. Brown is a public/ political figure with high name recognition. Nothing on this page is in anyway ment to self promote. Mr. Brown has nearly 50 thousand social media followers, he wouldn't need this platform to do that. We believe he meets notability criteria as outlined in terms of use. Thanks in advance for your help. We welcome all constructive criticism, but we reject the notion that Mr. Brown shouldn't have a page on Wikipedia.

Adam D Brown
You can't remove a speedy deletion tag if you're the creator, but you can click on the tag to say you object, and put your reasons at Talk:Adam D Brown. Your other option is to transfer the information to Draft:Adam D. Brown (there should be punctuation after the D) and work on it there, then submit it through WP:AFC when you're finished - the editors at AFC will move it to the mainspace or let you know what needs improving. You have now reverted deletion tags three times with no reason given that I could find - this is disrutive editing, you are about to violate WP:3RR and are definitely WP:EDITWARRING. Please stop, reflect and work on it in draftspace if you must try to create an article. You may also want to see WP:COI. Creating an article on yourself is highly discouraged, and edit warring to keep an article on yourself to self-promote is embarrassing. Please stop. Boleyn (talk) 07:37, 31 August 2017 (UTC) This page is not unambiguously promotional, because Adam D Brown has run for office in New Jersey and is therefore of public interest and should be easily accessible for people to find and learn more about. The information is fair, unbiased and doesn't promote the person in question. Please stop trying to flag this page with unwarranted and baseless claims.

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because the person is a public figure. Adam D Brown is a politician who has run for office in the United States and therefor is relevant to those who wish to research him. There is no information that gloats, unfairly promotes or interferes with Wikipedia guidelines. It is impartial. “If you are a public person, a public company and the article is not negative or biased, we will not delete it for no reason,” --Aduanebrown (talk) 07:44, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Again, you are welcome to dispute the deletion tag, but you cannot remove it. I've given you instructions above on how to dispute it and there's explained on the deletion tag. The closing admin will look at what you have written before making a decision. Boleyn (talk) 08:22, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove a speedy deletion notice from a page you have created yourself, as you did at Adam D Brown. Cahk (talk) 08:04, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but it appears you have written or added to an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you. Cahk (talk) 08:06, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Very well, we have contested all attempts to have this page removed. There are thousands of self promoting pages, we suggest you spend your time trying to have those removed. It's a great thing you're doing, but you're adversely effecting Mr. Brown and it's unacceptable.

Aduanebrown (talk) 08:31, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Adam D Brown, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Bakilas (talk) 09:29, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Understood, well do our best to always clarify that in the future.

Problems with this account
I have declined speedy deletion of Adam Duane Brown and have instead sent it for the community to consider deletion under our normal notability policies. I don't think you've understood the requirement of our general notability guideline that all article subjects must have significant coverage in reliable, independent, secondary sources.

I am also concerned that your account is not being used in accordance with our policy on usernames. Your editing above seems to indicate that this is an account that is being used by several people (perhaps a publicity team?) - could you please clarify whether this is case?

Lastly, it seems quite clear that this account has a conflict of interest when editing Adam Duane Brown - the username indicates that the account either belongs to the subject of that article or someone editing on his behalf. Continued editing with an undeclared conflict of interest is likely to lead to your account being blocked. GoldenRing (talk) 09:47, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for not deleting the page. I am not a member of Adam's publicity team nor do I represent him. I only created the username because I actually thought it would lend more credibility. I obviously wasn't aware of the policy. So I will refrain from using it. I will also provide more sources on the page to help show that Mr. Brown is worthy of being categorized as a someone who meets criteria on notability. I will also refrain from using sources that lend any bias, it's hard because he's a political figure, but there are dozens of articles about him. Also links to television interviews.

Thanks for giving me a chance to get his page going. Any and all constructive criticism is welcome.
