Speedy deletion nomination of Minhas Craft Brewery


A tag has been placed on Minhas Craft Brewery requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://minhasbrewery.com/our-history. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 "Click here to 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.

Hello, Bbazos. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Talk:Minhas Craft Brewery, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

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.
 * 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. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

Manjit Minhas
Hello Bbazos, I have no problem with your Manjit Minhas and I wouldn't delete it this time. As long as you aren't copying from other websites and you have no conflict of interest, I guess it should be okay. Adam Bishop (talk) 06:52, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

Comment on User talk:Ian.thomson
May I suggest adding a link to your sandbox (or any other topic you wish to discuss)? It helps others locate the page. Just add User:Bbazos/sandbox which generates: User:Bbazos/sandbox (leave out the nowiki, that's to make the code visible for your reference). Also, I would suggest using, , (magazines) for your citations. They go between the. You can also "reuse" citations (see Help:Footnotes. The first would be and subsequent cites: (without the ) Note the slash "/" on the subsequent cite. Order is not important. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 22:04, 12 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Some notes about the article attempt:
 * Wikipedia is never a source for Wikipedia. In fact, it's best to never use user generated sites, such as Trip Advisor.
 * Right now, it looks like there's a lot of WP:UNDUE weight on the brewery's website.
 * Notability is established by sources specifically about the brewery (see WP:GNG). This is not accomplished by sources which only mention the brewery among 49 others, only discuss its founders in passing, or only discuss its predecessors.

 * Excellent! Thank you both for your comments. I will go back and make revisions. Thanks again! Bbazos (talk) 23:18, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Draft:David E. Olson
Hi @Bbazos,

I was wondering if you had any time to review an article I re-submitted to AFC, David E. Olson. I am reaching out to you because you approved a previous article I submitted, Psychoplastogen. I wrote another article for the professor that coined the term psychoplastogen (David E. Olson) so the topics are related. I’ve been working to get the article approved since last year but faced some delays due to my own schedule and sourcing proper citations, but I feel the advice I received from the previous two editors has helped me revise the article to be more worthy of Wikipedia and even includes citations from Forbes & The New York Times.

I reached out to the last editor that declined the submission to ask if she was available to review my edits but it seems like she is very busy with work and other priorities at this time, so I decided to reach out to you. Please let me know if you can take a look.

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. HHA LTP (talk) 19:06, 6 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi @HHA LTP, thank you for reaching out, I should have time to look at it tomorrow. Bbazos (talk) 23:39, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi @HHA LTP,
 * I’ve reviewed this draft and in my opinion I believe this meets Wikipedia’s notability standard for Notability (academics) . Additionally I reviewed the comments made by the previous editors that declined the article and I believe you have addressed their feedback. The sources appear to be reliable, if not generally notable, notable within the industry (ie: peer reviewed journals). I did notice that a few of the articles include David E Olson as an author (which may be viewed as WP:OR ) however it appears these are peer reviewed articles published in peer reviewed journals and several other authors contributed to these articles. Lastly, the Wall Street Journal article (I found very interesting!) is an Opinion piece, so technically it would not be a reliable source however you are using it in conjunction with a citation from Forbes. Honestly, sometimes, I feel like interpreting Wikipedia policies is like interpreting the US constitution (LOL) in the sense that there are several interpretations of the same statement so another Wikipedia editor might feel differently than I do. However, I am going to continue doing my best to try and adhere to all the Wikipedia guidelines, and learn along the way. In summary, I moved the article to Main Namespace and I look forward to advances David E Olson makes in this field. On a more personal note, depression and anxiety are conditions people close to me struggle with and I find this particular therapeutic approach very interesting. Thanks again for reaching out.
 * All the best, Bbazos (talk) 18:48, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you @Bbazos for your detailed reply and making the article pubic! I too find this particular therapeutic approach very interesting and promising. HHA LTP (talk) 02:51, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
