Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Arise music festival


A tag has been placed on Draft:Arise music festival, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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 "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 deleted 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:46, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

Be transparent about connection
Hello Beccalyn137. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Draft:Arise music festival, and that you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Beccalyn137. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. Your declaration on your user page that you have worked with the festival in the past and have a COI is a good start, and appreciated. You have also written that you "have been commissioned to get the festival added to Wikipedia". That makes it sound like you are receiving compensation in some form, or following a boss's orders. Being clear about the nature of your COI is essential. --Worldbruce (talk) 06:12, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

Hello Worldbruce. I am not being directly or indirectly compensated for my attempt to have the ARISE Festival added to Wikipedia - I have been asked to do it by the promoters of the festival, but as a friend of the festival not a paid employee. That is why I added the declaration on my user page. I hope that this helps. If there is any other advice you can give this newbie to get the article published I would greatly appreciate it.
