Speedy deletion nomination of User:Chris76424


A tag has been placed on User:Chris76424, 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. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 16:20, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (we are creating this page to tell the history of Stephens Memorial Hospital and the role it has played in our community over the past 70 years. The article will be historic in nature, not promotional.) --Chris76424 (talk) 16:24, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Ummm not by plagiarizing, your addition was plagiarized from their page found here [] Hell in a Bucket (talk) 16:25, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

You have an obvious conflict of interest and you must declare it. If you work directly or indirectly for an organisation, or otherwise are acting on its behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. If you are paid directly or indirectly by the organisation you are writing about, 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:Chris76424. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:   . If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message. Also read the following regarding writing an article:
 * 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 or company, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, logs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company or 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
 * 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.


 * You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.
 * 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. You must also reply to the COI request above.

I am new and simply trying to learn how to use this. I feel like I ran over someone's cat. To be attacked by multiple people so quickly seems a bit much. There was no plagiarism as I am the one who developed the content on the original website. I was simply trying to create a page to describe the rich history our hospital has played in our community over the past 70 years. I am reading and learning. No need to bring out the firing squad. 104.152.156.18 (talk) 16:46, 2 March 2020 (UTC)Chris76424
 * It isn't as serious as all that, your addition had serious problems other then the copyright issues. We can't use that content without legal releases and furthermore we can't and don't want funding plugs. You stated it wasn't your intent but your edit was the page about securing donations right? I'm all for writing articles on historic buildings, companies etc, I have a degree in history but the way you were doing it was wrong. BTW there is no firing squad, it may seem overwhelming but these are really just advice on how to proceed. If you'd truly like to write an article about the company that isn't promotional, and is sourced independently I can help guide you in writing it. I've authored around 100 or so articles and I work our WP:AFC too. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 17:07, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
