Speedy deletion nomination of User:Jeffgilden


A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Jeffgilden, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

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. 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. GPL93 (talk) 02:14, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

 User:Jeffgilden has been deleted

Hello, Jeffgilden. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. I'm sorry, but User:Jeffgilden has been deleted as meeting WP:CSD. "This applies to pages that are exclusively promotional and would need to be fundamentally rewritten to conform with NOTFORPROMOTION." These must be rewritten from scratch from "reliable, third party sources unconnected to the subject." See WP:RS.

Identifying blatant advertising contains information about content to avoid. For more information on content that may be perceived as promotional, click User:Dlohcierekim/promo. These are just rough guides. Pages can avoid all those pitfalls and still be glaringly obvious ad copy. Sometimes pages meeting WP:CSD give the appearance of an editor violating Conflict of interest or WP:PAID. Please read and heed them if they apply to you. Please read FAQ/Organizations.

There is a very common mistake of assuming that the prohibition against promotional editing applies only to promotion for commercial gain, but that is not so. Sometimes creators of promotional content are bewildered that it is considered such. If one has has been trained to write or spent some time writing corporate documents or mission/vision statements or anything similar, they may simply be blind to the promotionality. It can be hard to unlearn.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources that are  unconnected with the subject and providing verifiable information. '''That generally means someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. ''' Please see Wikipedia:Citing sources. Template:cite has templates you can use in citing your sources. Place the template at the bottom of the page, and references cited in the text will appear there.

The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems. --  Deep fried  okra    04:55, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
