Proposed deletion of Jonathan Kingston


The article Jonathan Kingston has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "No indication of notability. All sources found are either self produced, or short news blips about winning non-notable awards. Fails GNG and NCREATIVE"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Dear User:John from Idegon - I am slowly making edits to this page. I believe I have correctly updated and referenced notability requirements for NCREATIVE. The awards referenced are very notable within the photography industry. I am confused what you mean by self produced sources? Can you help me out?MrK (talk) 06:55, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

August 2018
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but it appears you have written or added to an article about yourself, at Jonathan Kingston. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you. John from Idegon (talk) 18:56, 30 August 2018 (UTC) Hello MrJK. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Jonathan Kingston, and that 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.

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, and if it does not, 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:MrJK. 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, please do not edit further until you answer this message. John from Idegon (talk) 23:15, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Dear User:John from Idegon I can assure you that I am not getting paid directly or indirectly for my edits. I am simply a novice wikipedia editor stumbling around the platform. MrK (talk) 06:48, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
 * So you are not the subject of the article? John from Idegon (talk) 07:13, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. John from Idegon (talk) 20:22, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

September 2018
As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Jonathan Kingston, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:MrJK, and the template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. John from Idegon (talk) 06:02, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Dear User:John from Idegon My apologies for the slow reply. I have been away from the computer. As I stated above, I am not being paid for my edits. I can see how my username may have confused this point and am in the process of updating my username to more accurately reflect my interest in photographers and photography.luminepictura (talk) 00:10, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
