Speedy deletion nomination of Ichikowitz Family Foundation


A tag has been placed on Ichikowitz Family Foundation, 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, product, group, service or person 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 removed 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 deleting administrator.

COI
I see your disclosure in the edit history of Ivor Ichikowitz. I remind you that according to WP:COI you should use the draft space to propose new articles, and suggest changes other than plain factual updates on article talk pages, rather than making them directly on the article.

The article on the Foundation was deleted because its primary focus was to promote animal conservation. This is an excellent cause, but we don't promote even the most excellent causes and more than we do businesses. It's possible that an article on it might be feasible, if there are enough references providing substantial coverage from third-party independent reliable sources, not press releases or mere announcements, but please do it in Draft: space.

The changes in the bio articles seem some of them designed to improve his public profile. We do indeed try to have a fair WP:NPOV profile, but you should not make such changes yourself. I think the removal of the information about the military equipment he sells inappropriate, and I am reverting it. I see of the minor awards etc. too trivial to include, and have removed them--having minor material when there is major material available detracts from the article.

It would be useful to add some basic factual information: the date and title of his university degree, the date of his marriage, his activities after university before the Paramount group. Are Paramount and Transafrica the only companies he has founded?  DGG ( talk ) 17:51, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
