Speedy deletion nomination of Bright English Medium School Tanzania


A tag has been placed on Bright English Medium School Tanzania, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

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.

Hello, BEMSVolunteers. 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, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
 * instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

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

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. 2601:188:1:AEA0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 14:58, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
Hello and thank you for your fast answer. I can understand that this policy exists and I totally get your point, but I don't have any external relationship to the Bright English Medium School.

I study anthropology and communication and travel through the northern region of Tanzania to learn more about Maasai culture. During my field studies, I met some Maasai Kids that go to the BEMS, so I decided to visit the place. I liked it, took some pictures and had some interviews with the owner and some of the teachers.

My personal interest is more about Maasai culture and how they can be included in the education system. That's why I decided to write an article about the BEMS. Of course I talked to the school manager Mr. Baraka Eliud about it and he asked me, if I could use the mail addres of his previous volunteers to create an account, so he might be able to update information. (But I think that would be then a conflict of interest and I will tell him not to do so) Nevertheless, if you want to delete the page I can't stop you but of course I put a lot of work into the article and would appreciate a publishment.
