Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Phoenix Award Book Publications


A tag has been placed on Draft:Phoenix Award Book Publications, 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.

July 2024
Hello Graciousqueen. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Graciousqueen. 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 state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. AntiDionysius ( talk ) 11:40, 20 July 2024 (UTC)


 * I haven't been paid nor will I be compensated in anyway. I am only creating a page that I believe should already exist but if I am doing it wrongly or in a way that seems like I'm being paid, then I can leave it to someone else to handle. Graciousqueen (talk) 11:45, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for clarifying. I asked just because the article read (to me, anyway, I've been wrong before) as if it was meant to praise the subject rather than neutrally describe it, and often that's an indication that someone is writing about something they have a financial interest in or was created by them or their friends. But obviously that's not always the case. AntiDionysius  ( talk ) 11:48, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because your account is being used only for advertising or promotion.
