If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. --McGeddon (talk) 18:26, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

For your reconsideration

I have read and understand the conflict of interest policy/guidelines as they relate to Wikipedia. The genre article relating to Dieselpunk was deleted by an outside user, despite it being a legitimate genre of art/literature/music and a growing sub-culture, not unlike Steampunk. The website, www.dieselpunks.org is the largest example of this artwork/literature/music, and was submitted as the prime example of the genre.
