Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Jasonciment. 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, clients, 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 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. SmartSE (talk) 20:41, 6 November 2022 (UTC)


 * just to be clear, I was openly leaving the source materials in my name so that you could use them in re-evaluating your recommendation to delete. The relationship I have to my dad is not relevant to the articles I shared. Either the articles are legit and address your concerns or they don't. I hope that reputable Wikipedia editors like yourself can look to the sources not the messenger of the sources. I have other sources I could post as well.

 * Ok but I could only presume that you had a conflict of interest until you revealed here that the subject is your father as you had not disclosed it. The above information was to ensure that you understand our guideline on editing with a conflict of interest - it doesn't mean that you've done anything wrong. Similarly it is fine to leave sources in the deletion discussion and your relationship with the subject will have no bearing on how they are considered. I've replied there explaining why those sources are insufficient, but if you think that there are others, please list them there. As an aside, it would be interesting to know whether you paid someone to create the article originally? I noticed that you provided a photograph that used to be in the article so presumably you'd know one way or the other. Either way, it won't make a difference to whether we decide to delete the article or not. Thanks
