A tag has been placed on Template:McKay, Dave (2013), USS Enterprise CVA(N) / CVN-65 : the world’s first nuclear powered aircraft carrier, Christchurch, NZ: WillsonScott Publishing, ISBN 978-1-877427-50-3, 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.

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. Elli (talk &#124; contribs) 18:46, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Doctor Dave McKay. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Template:McKay, Dave (2013), USS Enterprise CVA(N) / CVN-65 : the world’s first nuclear powered aircraft carrier, Christchurch, NZ: WillsonScott Publishing, ISBN 978-1-877427-50-3, 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. -- Deep fried okra ( talk ) 19:40, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
