Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Word Forest


A tag has been placed on Draft:Word Forest, 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. Jalen Folf  (talk)  17:43, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Kiranbahra. 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 article subjects 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 edit COI template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see );
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see );
 * 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. JBW (talk) 20:18, 18 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello Jalen,
 * Thank you for taking a look at my page. While I have made a few edits to Wikipedia pages in the past, this is the first time I have attempted a full article, so I am going slow and working things out, hence why the draft is very unfinished. I have chosen Word Forest as they are an up and coming charity that I think deserves more attention.
 * I was wondering why you think that the article I have started on is for the purpose of promotion? Initially, I would like to point out that the article is not finished yet, I had just saved the first tiny bit of work as a draft, and I know it requires a lot more work including external references in order to make it a reputable article. If you could let me work on the draft until completion and then assess whether it should be made live, I would appreciate that.
 * Thank you once again for all of your advice

Hello. Your recent edit appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

Further comments relating to conflict of interest and related matters

 * 1) I don't know what you think the word "promotion" means, but it is difficult to think of anything more clearly promotional in intention than publishing about a subject because you "think [it] deserves more attention".
 * 2) Please don't continue to edit without complying with the conflict of interest guideline.
 * 3) Almost all of us, when we start editing Wikipedia, know little or nothing about Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, so nobody can be blamed for starting out doing things that are contrary to policies and guidelines that they don't know about. However, continuing to do the same things after being told about the relevant policies and guidelines is a different matter. Administrators may block editors from editing if they continue to edit in unacceptable ways after being informed.
 * 4) I recommend being completely open and transparent. If administrators form the impression that you are being less than straightforward, that will increase the likelihood of their blocking your account from editing. JBW (talk) 12:52, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
