Speedy deletion nomination of Nafeesah Allen


A tag has been placed on Nafeesah Allen, 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🌈 13:39, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

Paid editing
Hello Leahfreemanhaskin. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Leahfreemanhaskin. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Theroadislong (talk) 16:12, 19 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Theroadislong - What are you basing these claims on? I have no financial stake in promoting this topic. And by "topic" do you mean Nafeesah or the topics of her research? Either way, this is a bit confusing to me and I'd like to know what these claims are based on. Leahfreemanhaskin (talk) 17:04, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Whilst not wishing to "out" you, you ARE editing with your real name and a search shows you are a "Content Creator & Marketing Specialist ". Theroadislong (talk) 17:15, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, and I work full-time for a non-profit organization that has nothing to do with editing Wiki pages. This is not a business for me. I've only created three pages on Wiki. I enjoy creating these pages for Black artists (for FREE). Leahfreemanhaskin (talk) 17:19, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I am not being directly or indirectly compensated for my edits. Leahfreemanhaskin (talk) 18:04, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Theroadislong. I noticed that you recently removed content from Draft:Nafeesah Allen without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Hello. I wanted to let you know that in your recent contributions to Draft:Nafeesah Allen, you seemed to act as if you were the owner of the page. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to Wikipedia. This means that editors do not own articles, including ones they create, and should respect the work of their fellow contributors. If you create or edit an article, remember that others are free to change its content. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.
