Hello QCumberFilms. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:(K)nox: The Rob Knox Story, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but 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 serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

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. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged 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:QCumberFilms. 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, do not edit further until you answer this message. Equine-man (talk) 08:26, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello Equine-man. Apologies, this is my first article for Wikipedia. I am here to set up the wikipedia page for the documentary (K)nox: The Rob Knox Story. This should have been created months ago but has not. I am actually part of the production team from the Rob Knox Foundation which produced the film. I am also a volunteer, and not being paid for this - we are purely doing this for the recognition of this film.

I have been as neutral as possible using source articles to explain everything with no use of personal reference. We do not want paid compensation for edits at all. Please do not mark this article for speedy deletion. I am happy to answer any further questions. (talk) 09:03, 31 October 2021 (GMT)


 * In other words you have a conflict of interest, and promoting the film implies promotion and gaining compensation. Therefore you may not continue editing on the article you have an undisclosed financial stake in. Equine-man (talk) 09:14, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

There is no compensation. The film was created for charitable and awareness purposes. Please refer to the articles created. I gain nothing from this. I am more than happy to discuss on a zoom call or provide more evidence that I will not financially benefit from this. We have a broadcast deal in place which we can not mention on Wikipedia as there are no articles supporting it at this time. The film has won awards in the UK. Is there anyway someone can take over this article from me - rather than deletion, so that they can confirm and corroborate the research done for this?


 * I doubt it will pass notability Equine-man (talk) 09:32, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

Is there someone who can take over the article instead of me? Would I be able to proceed with submission once the theatrical poster has been uploaded? That way, others can edit and do what they need to make sure its represented in a non bias way? The film exists and it is out there, along with all the articles needed to create the page.


 * Please click on the notability link in my above answer. Equine-man (talk) 09:40, 31 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Actually this is probably a better link: Notability (films) Equine-man (talk) 09:45, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

This is super helpful actually. Thank you for this reference. Rob Knox's death was of huge public interest in the UK, and whilst the documentary hasn't won a BAFTA or OSCAR - it has secured a distribution deal to my knowledge (again, nothing to back that fact other than the Mugglnet article). It's stars involved such as Ray Winstone, Jim Broadbent and Tom Felton have generated a lot of buzz in the UK press. But I will wait on submission feedback to see what happens as there will be more news and articles to surface over the coming months. Really appreciate your support in this matter, especially regarding the Notability (films)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:(K)nox: The Rob Knox Story


A tag has been placed on Draft:(K)nox: The Rob Knox Story, 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.

 * Separately from the deletion question or, perhaps as a sidebar to that, after stumbling onto this discussion I took a look at the Rob Knox article and made some fixes there. There's a section about the film in there. Wtmitchell  (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 10:21, 31 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Would you be interested in creating a page for the documentary film that is referenced Wtmitchell? (talk)
 * No; at least not at this time. I just happened to stumble across this discussion and it interested me enough to stop and look at it and the related articles. I generally only edit articles related to entertainment and sports which I see thrown up by WP:Huggle -- and I see too many of them there.
