Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Printify


A tag has been placed on Draft:Printify, 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. Sulfurboy (talk) 03:11, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Bratooshkin. 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 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 WP: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. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  06:51, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

You will appreciate that most people who, as their first article, write a promo about a company do have a conflict of interest and that's why you are asked the question. I'm happy to accept your assurances on this. Please read the following guidance


 * you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the organisation claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls. Much of the text is unsourced or sourced to the company or company posting on eg Crunchbase, which isn't a reliable source. What makes this site an authoritative source for the sweeping claim you base on it? It doesn't strike me as being the equivalent of the Wall Street Journal or the Financial Times.


 * The notability guidelines for organisations and companies have been updated. The primary criteria has five components that must be evaluated separately and independently to determine if it is met:
 * significant coverage in
 * independent,
 * multiple,
 * reliable,
 * secondary sources.
 * Note that an individual source must meet all four criteria to be counted towards notability. The company may be notable, but it doesn't seem to have a headquarters, employees, turnover or profits. Most of you article was just telling it what it sells. The largely unsourced list of investors, which also lacks the amount they invest, also seems intended to raise the profile of the company rather than give real facts.


 * you must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews. Claims presented as facts that lacked proper sources include Printify is considered to be one of the leading print-on-demand dropshipping providers in the world..., the most notable... well-known brands... can choose and switch between lower cost, faster, or higher quality printing companies depending on their needs.
 * there shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
 * you must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. Note also that the experienced AFC reviewer tagged your article as Topic is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia and tagged it for speedy deletion. I'm afraid that teachers don't always give enough guidance before letting them loose on Wikipedia, successfully writing an article about a company is really difficult, you need to read the guidance above and follow Your first article to the letter Jimfbleak - talk to me?  14:40, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
