Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Andrew Hallam


A tag has been placed on Draft:Andrew Hallam, 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.

Paid-editor disclosure
Hi! Your edit history strongly suggests that you have some connection to AES International and/or to people connected to it such as Samuel Instone and Andrew Hallam – you have not made a single edit outside those topics. Our Terms of Use state that "you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation." An editor who contributes as part of his or her paid employment is required to disclose that fact. If you are receiving, or expect to receive, monetary or other benefits or considerations from editing Wikipedia as a representative of an organization (as an employee or contractor; as an employee or contractor of a firm hired by that organization for public-relations purposes; as owner, officer or other stakeholder; or by having some other form of close financial relationship with a topic you wish to write about), then you must disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:. 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 say so, here on this page. Otherwise, please make the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you have answered this message. Thank you, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 13:07, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

No paid editing
In no way have we been paid directly or indirectly for this page. Andrew is a friend and asked for help on how to write his first Wiki page. In this way we helped, but absolutely no financial gain has been made or will be. Can all the warnings please be removed? --Elysiumgate (talk) 13:29, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I guess you missed the part where the warning also included WP:COI. Please read that. Praxidicae (talk) 15:09, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Who is "we", Elysiumgate? Is there more than one of you, or is that a corporate "we"? Please answer this: do you have or have you ever had a connection to AES International? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:28, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi Praxidicae (talk). I'm happy to answer all your questions and have nothing to hide. Elysiumgate is a very old account I believe, and yes we are the owner of AES International. Sam Instone is the CEO. Andrew Hallam asked us for help setting up his Wiki and to be honest, we found it very confusing and simply tried to assist as he is a friend of our CEO. It was not in return for anything, or anything to do with former pages we have tried to set up before for AES and Sam. It was not intended to hide any connections or mislead in any way. I see the article has now been totally stripped back. Is it now acceptable? If we didn't disclose any kind of connection it was a genuine mistake. I hadn't realised the connection to AES was important and am still not sure I know why it is. Thanks for your guidance so far. --Elysiumgate (talk) 16:27, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

April 2020
As previously advised, your edits, such as the edit you made to Andrew Hallam, give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Elysiumgate, and the template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. ''It does not matter if the financial stake is direct or indirect. It needs to be disclosed before any further edits.'' Sulfurboy (talk) 15:44, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

Thank you Sulfurboy. I am very new to this. So I can confirm that we are not being paid directly or indirectly for our edits. We were simply helping out. I have not made any edits since this query began. Is this the disclosure you need or is there somewhere else I should post it? I appreciate your help! --Elysiumgate (talk) 17:20, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
 * several editors have been through this multiple times with you here and on other talk pages. You have a direct and inherent conflict of interest and you must disclose it. Further, who is the we you continue to refer to? Praxidicae (talk) 17:24, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
