Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:CORVID


A tag has been placed on Draft:CORVID, 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. MrClog (talk) 09:18, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Your username and editing
Hi - I'm Girth Summit, an administrator here. Another user drew my attention to your username, which appears to represent the name of the company you are writing about. What does the 'AM' stand for - is that your name, or a role/department within the company? Please see WP:UPOL, which outlines our username policy. You will see that usernames are not permitted to unambiguously represent a company, and per NOSHARING, each account must be controlled and accessed by a single individual - you cannot share an account between multiple people within a team, or pass an account from one person to another when people change roles. Please also allow me to draw your attention to our COI and PAID guidelines, which would seem to apply to you - there are steps that you must take to declare your situation if you are editing as a part of your job, and there are certain things you are not permitted to do with regard to the content of any article with which you have a COI. Please respond to these concerns before making any further edits. Best Girth Summit  (blether)  09:36, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi - yes it is, i'm just trying to add in the CoI tag, but i'm new to this so just trying to find out how to go back to the page to add it in. MY name is Angela and I work for the company. I am currently reading up all the advice you have provided and taking the steps required.
 * OK - thanks for letting me know. UPOL expressly permits usernames in the format you have chosen (see ISU), so there is no issue with that. The COI and PAID declarations are important, and you need to be aware that you should put any draft about your company through the AfC process. If it is accepted and published, you will no longer be permitted to edit it - you will need to restrict yourself to making edit requests on its talk page, and allowing editors without a COI to actually change the page. Some more reading for you, that will help improve your chances of writing an acceptable article: WP:NCORP discusses notability of companies, including the type of sourcing that will be necessary to demonstrate that your company is notable enough for us to have an article about it; WP:PROMO discusses the fact that Wikipedia is not a platform for promotion, and it has lots of links to other guidance about sourcing and writing neutral prose.
