Speedy deletion nomination of Pacific Wild
A tag has been placed on Pacific Wild, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Moreover, please add more verifiable sources, not only 3rd party sources. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.  Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 00:31, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Removing Speedy at Pacific Wild
Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for taking the time to create a page here. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you created yourself.

Please do not continue to remove the deletion tag, instead, if you disagree with the deletion, you can follow these steps: Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do. For further help about the deletion, you could contact the user who first placed the tag or a highly active user who is willing to help with deletion.

About conflicts of interest...
Hello, Elianablaine. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Pacific Wild, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content 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 a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 05:04, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Some friendly suggestions
Hi, Welcome to Wikipedia! Really - this isn't yet another warning. Here are some suggestions for editing here, and especially regarding the article you started, Pacific Wild. First, in spite of the lengthy warning above, there is no rule on Wikipedia forbidding a conflict of interest. Some editors wish there was, but as long as you don't blatantly and repeatedly violate other Wikipedia policies, you can edit that article. Do read the WP:Conflict of Interest guidelines closely and you'll see what sort of things might cause you problems. You may well be harassed by some editors just for having a conflict of interest, so you'll likely have to pay closer attention than normal to the main Wikipedia guidelines (which are linked in the Welcome message just above). Don't hesitate to ask questions if you aren't sure.

Secondly, the article is unlikely to be kept here unless you can provide multiple Reliable Sources which show Notability by Wikipedia Standards. Those sources would include articles in neutral, third-party mainstream newspapers and magazines. I added the reference to the Pacific Wild article from National Geographic as an example. I searched, but couldn't easily find any similar references. Mentions in high quality books or academic publications, which aren't written by anyone associated with Pacific Wild, are also good references. That's something you'll have to do if you want to save the article. You can see the type of references I added to the article of a similar organization, Panthera Corporation. So, you have an uphill battle in that regard. You can use Pacific Wild's website for referencing some non-controversial information (headquarters, president, etc.), but you're still going to need those high quality third-party sources. Good luck! First Light (talk) 22:09, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
