Conflict of Interest
Hello! Do you have a conflict of interest, as in do you work for Harvard University or the Recovery Research Institute? Happy editing!HappyValleyEditor (talk) 19:44, 23 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Yea I do work for them! I thought my references were solid because we are research institute that produces research, but I saw your comment that they articles of the researchers, but are researchers are us essentially...

We are a real non-profit research institute of Harvard University and Mass General Hospital, I see that as an employee I am not allowed to make the posting, but I feel like the institute is notable and should have a page?


 * Thanks for your quick reply and honesty! The thing to do is to not make any more edits. If you would like to have changes to the page made, you can use the request edit feature, and someone who is uninvolved will edit the page. It's considered vey bad form, and to say the least extremely undesirable to have persons connected to an organization edit their own pages. As to notability, that will be determined when more editors look at it. It seems to me that it is not notable (the epople in it might be) since it does not have that many significant mentions in the press/media/books. If you have references and sources that specifically mention the RRI, then post them here. They have to be reliable, as in not written by anyone associated with the RRI. For example, three or four non-trivial mentions in publications like the NY Times or the Boston Globe would do it. See WP:RS. HappyValleyEditor (talk) 20:12, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

 * None of the references you give above deal with the "Recovery Research Instititue" in detial-- they are just passing mentions. This is essentially why the page was deleted: not enough sources. Have a nice day. HappyValleyEditor (talk) 20:03, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Recovery research institute


The article Recovery research institute has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Article is ful of references but they do not deal with the institute itself-- they're about the doctors and the research papers it published. Other refs are self-published. Absence of good refs dealing with the subject means it fails WP:GNG. Article was also very likely created by a COI editor for promotional purposes. See COIN discussion also.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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.
