Speedy deletion nomination of CFLA/Peace Paint


A tag has been placed on CFLA/Peace Paint 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 an organization or company, but it does not 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. GregJackP  Boomer!   03:20, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello, AngelaDiBelezza. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article CFLA/Peace Paint, you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. GregJackP  Boomer!   03:22, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Deletion
Hi, thanks for message. You can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~. I deleted your recent article because  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  06:11, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. It is not clear to me that the article is making any claims that meet the notability criteria, and the links you gave were to non-independent sites like Facebook and YouTube which are self-created.
 * It was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Your links seemed to be intended to promote the organisation or its members rather than support the text, and examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: many others have benefited artistically and financially... Thousands of dollars have gone to such projects... bettering mankind and making a positive impact... Even if just one person is affected, it matters... The vision...  to make a difference... Our cause... Utilizing creativity...helping humanity... to benefit the community
 * Everything that I typed had a reference to a website that supported our cause and what we do. &mdash; a reference is to verify what you are claiming, not to support your cause.
 * It wasn't completed as I needed permissions from other contributors to add their input. &mdash; This suggests you are planning to use text or images that you do not own the copyright to. 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 that the text is 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 isn't sufficient.
 * You have an obvious conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about this subject. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that your organisation is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Requested articles for the article to be created.
