Hello, DomJones1. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. The page User:DomJones1/sandbox has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seemed to be unambiguous advertising which only promoted a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to have been fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

This article needs to be rewritten from scratch from reliable, third party sources unconnected to the subject. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It is not an outlet for promotion, advocacy, or advertising.

Information on content and common pitfalls to avoid can be located here and here, however be aware that this is not an exhaustive list. Pages can sometimes avoid these pitfalls and still be seen as an ad copy or unambiguously promotional, particularly if the editor appears to be a paid editor or has some other conflict of interest. Please review these policies, including the FAQ page on organizations to determine if this applies to you.

Common mistakes or beliefs about promotional editing center on the assumption that promotional editing only applies to promotion for commercial gain. Some tags or G11 nominations are met with confusion by creators, particularly if they spend much time reading or creating corporate documents, mission/vision statements, or similar copy for their organization. The frequent exposure to promotional tone may make it difficult to notice non-neutral phrases or styles, as the editor has grown accustomed to seeing it as everyday writing or speech. This can be difficult, but not impossible, to unlearn.

Another common assumption is that the prohibition against promotional editing applies only to businesses or organizations. Anything can be promoted, including a person, a non-commercial organization, a point of view, etc. and CV/resumé's are by their nature promotional.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources that are  unconnected with the subject and providing verifiable information. '''That generally means someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. ''' Please see this page on citing sources. This page has templates you can use in citing your sources. Place the template at the bottom of the page, and references cited in the text will appear there. New article creation can be difficult, but the Article Wizard can help you. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems. You can also ask for help at the TEAHOUSE and on IRC chat.

New article creation can be difficult and frustrating. Sometimes it is better to first gain experience by fixing and helping maintain existing articles. Community portal/Opentask contains links to things that badly need doing, if you are so inclined. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 16:01, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, DomJones1. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page User:DomJones1/sandbox, you may have a conflict of interest (COI).

Hello, I'm WikiDan61. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Draft:Dom Jones have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective.

Wikipedia is not a webhost
In your edits at your sandbox, you wrote the edit summary ''editing a page to move it to the wiki live side after 6 hrs. please help, I am trying to place a public figure onto the wiki site. I appreciate your help and support. please just delete what is not okay, so that the page is at least up. I am grateful. peace''. The page you've written is a blatant ad for Jones' political candidacy, and is inappropriate for publication on Wikipedia. Jones may be a "public figure", but there is no indication that they are yet a notable public figure, so attempts to "delete what is not okay" would leave nothing behind.

 * Hello, thank you for ypur input I am working on placing Dom Jones on wikipedia as she is a a highly notable Thought leader. Who is the 1st African-American to run for The California State Legislature in the history of Orange County and has been the 1st to run for Congress. Additionally she serves as an ambassador to The United Nations, the largest worldwide government arm, is in the media and has obtained the highest accolade in America possible in Leadership as the the 2023-2024 United Nations-United States of America Young Leader of the Year Award recipient. On behalf of the Leadership Development Committee, the Leadership Summit Planning Committee, UNA-USA staff, and National Council Executive Team. There is much more, yet we do believe she deserves to have an encyclopedic Wikipedia page. It would be wonderful to have your help and support so that it meets those basic requirements that you all have for Wikipedia. We understand and wish to comply. Her opponent in this general election has a page also and we want to make sure that Dom Jones impact on society that she has had on a worldwide level, as someone who speaks 4 languages, a minister, missionary, and politician can be researched. Thank you very much for your kindness. 198.72.148.170 (talk) 17:58, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Please create a draft first (try creating it at Draft:Dom Jones (politician)). Your draft will need better sourcing than the sandbox article that was deleted. (For one thing, citations to other Wikipedia pages are disallowed, but you may cite the sources that those pages cite if they help verify your content.) Notability is verified by the existence of multiple instances of independent coverage of the subject in reliable sources. Local newspaper coverage of her as a local political candidate will not likely convince draft reviewers that Jones is notable. You'll need more significant coverage than that. Also, your claim that she is a "UN ambassador" is patently incorrect. UN Ambassadors are the senior representatives of their countries in the UN General Assembly. The position you have described appears more like a representative of some NGO to one of the many UN committees. This is a different thing, entirely, and does not carry the automatic stamp of notability, but could be a basis of notability if her involvement there has been covered by multiple independent sources. (Webpages documenting her UN activities published by the group she represents are not considered independent, so do not further her claim of notability.) Your claim that "Her opponent in this general election has a page also and we want to make sure that Dom Jones impact on society that she has had on a worldwide level, as someone who speaks 4 languages, a minister, missionary, and politician can be researched" tells me that you want to make this page specifically to promote Jones' political aspirations. That's not what Wikipedia is for. Finally, your user name implies a conflict of interest that may make it very difficult for you to write in a neutral tone about Jones. Follow my advice about creating the draft, and submit it through the Articles for Creation process to allow other editors to evaluate it. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:45, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
