Speedy deletion nomination of Filanthropists


A tag has been placed on Filanthropists, 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, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". 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 the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Warfieldian ( talk ) 21:03, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Hello Filanthropists. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Filanthropists, 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 following the 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:


 * 1) 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.
 * 2) 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.
 * 3) Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * 4) 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. Warfieldian ( talk ) 21:04, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; you are welcome to create a new account with a username that represents only you. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you.  Acroterion   (talk)   21:17, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Yes, you have a conflict of interest and your username appears to represent your employer. Note that I agree that a credible assertion of notability was made for the company, avoiding speedy deletion, but the company appears to be only borderline notable, and is certainly not comparable to Dean & Deluca or Harry and David. Such misleading comparisons are common where editors are writing under a conflict of interest: they are too cloese to the subject to have a neutral position.  Acroterion   (talk)   21:44, 10 August 2011 (UTC)


 * What would you suggest I do about this? As I previously asked: create an account for my company then post on my clients behalf? Thanks. Filanthropists (talk) 21:53, 10 August 2011 (UTC)}}


 * Please read the information provided about how to edit under a conflict of interest. You may request an account rename to a name that does not represent your employer (we require this to avoid editors claiming to be an "official voice" and to avoid malicious impersonations, as well as for copyright attribution reasons), but unblocking will require you to understand the restrictions imposed by your COI, and that you undertake to scrupulously avoid promotion.

Thanks for your help. I guess I have some reading to do. Filanthropists (talk) 22:11, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
