Proposed deletion of Yashwant Deshmukh


The article Yashwant Deshmukh has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Fails WP:BASIC with no secondary sources about the subject. (His company CVoter may well be notable, but this isn't automatically conferred.)

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on |the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Blocked
I have blocked this account. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for search engine optimisation, which is the exact point of your organisation. BethNaught (talk) 18:09, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi BethNaught,

I wrote my first Wikipedia article and was blocked saying Wikipedia is not a SEO company. Of course, I understand that as I am a journalist and I do not work for any SEO company as mentioned in the Block. I used IConnect Media as my name because I found it interesting. Kindly note I have no connection whatsoever with https://www.iconnect-media.com/ which it seems is a Canadian company. I live in New Delhi in India and work as a journalist. I shall improve the article have written according to the suggestions mentioned and look forward to writing/editing more articles for Wikipedia. Kindly Unblock me. I can send links to my articles for other media groups if that can prove my credentials.

Thanking you


 * Actually, I find his basic claim quite believable, given that there is both an iConnect Media based in Ontario, Canada, which is likely the SEO company, and an Iconnect Media & Advertising Private Limited based in Haryana, India; and given that the article that this account posted was on an Indian individual, it seems quite likely that this account is related to the Indian company rather than the SEO company. Having said that, given that this could be reasonably taken as the name of a company, a user name block is still called for. Also, whether or not there is connection to either business, the tone of the article that this account created suggests at least the possibility that this is an editor working with a WP:COI of some sort. --Nat Gertler (talk) 03:23, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
 * , thanks for pointing me at their argument about Canada vs. India being red herring. Also, even if there were no Indian ICM, geographical distance is not an obstacle for employment. Remote contracting is extremely popular these days. Max Semenik (talk) 05:13, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
