Speedy deletion nomination of Leon Lewis


A tag has been placed on Leon Lewis requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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 deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:New England Mountain Bike Association (NEMBA)


A tag has been placed on Draft:New England Mountain Bike Association (NEMBA), 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.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, FFinchP. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  10:45, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

22MAY22: Regarding the New England Mountain Bike Association (NEMBA): Is there a Wikipedia article describing NEMBA’s goals & mission? I do see mention of same in an article about Harold Parker State Forest (Andover, Mass.). I have tried to author such an article in the past. Best Regards, Think Safely & Stay Well.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Template:UND/doc, you may be blocked from editing. —⁠andrybak (talk) 01:05, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Dear Andrybak:

Sorry for the “disruptive editing“.

NEMBA is a 35 year old advocacy group worthy of recognition. Mr. Keyes contributions to NEMBA were significant. His passing is an early end to an active and influential life.

Best Regards, Think Safely & Stay Well.
