User talk:Annaflorentine

Hi SpacemanSpiff, I would like to clarify that I am not the sock puppet of Milkmen437. I am a volunteer for the organisation that L. C. Tyagi founded (GRAVIS) and have been here for just three weeks. Before that time I have never done anything on or with Wikipedia. Is there any chance that you could undelete the article? Because actually I just did my research and wrote about what I found out on L. C. Tyagi. Regards, --Annaflorentine (talk) 04:11, 26 May 2017 (UTC)


 * It doesn't matter if you are the same person or not, you are all part of that organization and have been trying to do the exact same thing over many years now, not understanding the purpose of an encyclopaedia. I'm not going to unblock this account or undelete the article (which happens to carry over content from earlier versions). Maybe who blocked earlier promo accounts feels differently, pinging her. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  04:23, 26 May 2017 (UTC)


 * I am sorry to bother you again, but I don't really understand where the problem is in writing an article about somebody with reliable references --Annaflorentine (talk) 04:42, 26 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Annaflorentine, I feel the same way as SpacemanSpiff. Wikipedia is not for promotion; it's not a place like Facebook or LinkedIn for people or organisations to put themselves before the public. It is a quite different sort of site, a project to build an encyclopedia, so it is selective about subjects for articles. To have an article on Wikipedia, a subject needs to fulfill our notability criteria, which means the subject must have been discussed in a reasonably prominent way in reliable sources which are independent of the subject (not press releases, not user-generated content, not your own website, etc). Please note that we're not calling your organisation unimportant; Wikipedia notability is all about sources. Moreover, writing about your own organisation is strongly discouraged, because it's hard to do that in a neutral way. Please see the guideline WP:COI. Bishonen &#124; talk 08:54, 26 May 2017 (UTC).
