User talk:Benrforman

Welcome!
Hello, Benrforman, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Draft:Dan Forman, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

You are welcome to contribute content that complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines.

Thank you. Liliana UwU (talk / contribs) 01:50, 14 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Good evening Liliana, I would like the removal of the speedy deletion notice please, as the article I am trying to produce shows no signs of bias, and if bias was shown, it was removed and was not intended in the first place.
 * If you still see some signs of bias, please let me know and we can remove it.
 * Thank you, and have a good night :) Benrforman (talk) 02:14, 14 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Are you in any way related to, or otherwise associated with, Dan Forman? If so, you need to disclose this as it would be a conflict of interest. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 05:12, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Dan Forman is my father. I would be more than happy to disclose it. Also, to make sure that my draft gets published, how do I show more articles about Dan Forman that shows he is a significant person, which in the Louisiana state he is, creating multiple rehab centers to fight the exploding opioid addiction crisis in this state. Benrforman (talk) 12:06, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorry I forgot to clarify, there are many other news articles out there that I have not listed. Benrforman (talk) 12:07, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * In order to show someone is notable according to Wikipedia's notability criteria for people, you need to provide evidence that they have received significant coverage from multiple reliable and independent sources. We have no interest in what a person or their representatives wish to say about themselves.
 * Every source you have used so far is invalid because it either:
 * fails to mention Dan Forman at all (Advocate)
 * does not have extensive coverage (New Orleans City Business, WGNO, WWL)
 * is affiliated with him; such as press releases, which are self-published sources (Market Insider); or a primary source (Nola Detox)
 * I strongly advise that you review Wikipedia's plain and simple conflict of interest guide if you have not done so already. Creating new articles on Wikipedia is one of the most difficult tasks for a newcomer on Wikipedia, and having a conflict of interest makes it only that much harder. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 17:30, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * here is one article that focuses directly on Dan Forman. If you need to see more, let me know.
 * https://www.bizneworleans.com/addiction-treatment-redefined/ Benrforman (talk) 18:38, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I disagree. He is not the subject of the article - its focus is on Dependency Pain Treatment Centers.
 * I will add that because all of this discussion has taken place outside of the draft article talk page, the administrator who reviews the speedy deletion nomination will never notice any of it. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 21:22, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Good Morning Cabrils,
 * If you can pin-point where in the article to where it reads like a CV, I would be happy to fix it for ya. Also, here is one source of Dan Forman being solo interviewed talking about addiction crisis.
 * Dan Forman Addiction Expert New Orleans Discusses Staying ...
 * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIC3bqaJktE
 * Let me know and we can fix this together!
 * Ben Benrforman (talk) 12:15, 14 October 2022 (UTC)


 * YouTube is social media, where the content is self-published with no editorial oversight. The only exception would be from the official social media account of an existing reliable source. Since this is coming from Dan Forman's account, this condition is not met. Regardless, it would fail because interviews with the article subject are primary sources that lack the required independence. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 17:35, 14 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Benrforman, if you want to have a discussion with Cabrils, it's better to visit their talk page or write a comment on the draft article. They won't be watching your talk page, you didn't link their name so they will never see your comment here. Liz Read! Talk! 02:31, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Benrforman. 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 conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 02:28, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
