You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of Michael Billy


A tag has been placed on Michael Billy, 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. 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. Praxidicae (talk) 20:03, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Jtbell04. 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, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must 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 WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Praxidicae (talk) 21:51, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

I do have a conflict of inerest with the subject. I am one of his friends. However, I am trying to write a neutral article and can understand where this can create problems. (It’s why I’ve kept trying to keep it neutral and removed things). It’s not easy, and many of the early citations I’ve listed are hard to find outside of what I have.

It’s why I’ve been asking for all the help I can get.
 * The easiest guide to follow for proper disclosure is here. Praxidicae (talk) 22:03, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

I’m not being paid to do it. (I said there would be a conflict of interest, but there is a strict different between a paid contributor and one trying to simply get the information out there). Follow the same procedure?
 * That url covers both paid and conflicts of interest. Praxidicae (talk) 22:08, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

Did I do that right? And what happens now? I’d like to keep the article since there isn’t one and he is, I believe, someone who should have a page.
 * You can make your case here. However, per my nomination, he does not meet inclusion criteria currently. Praxidicae (talk) 22:16, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

I can look up what constitutes as sufficient sources but in some cases the articles (such as him when he was younger) are no longer valid or older style links.

What doesn’t meet inclusion criteria is what I am not fully understanding? (Trying to get all this right).
 * He is not currently notable, see WP:NOTABILITY, WP:ANYBIO, WP:GNG. Praxidicae (talk) 22:25, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
