Speedy deletion nomination of American Dream Clean


A tag has been placed on American Dream Clean, 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 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. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:52, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Missiondc. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article American Dream Clean, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
 * instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate 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).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 05:51, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for message. If you post an article it will be assessed as it stands. If you don't want that to happen, you should write it as a draft. I deleted your article because
 * it did not provide adequate independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation, press releases, social media, YouTube and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the organisation claims or interviewing its management. You gave some references, but most were affiliated with your organisation or related bodies or were otherwise unsuitable.  Videos of individuals supporting your company are not independent third-party sources when they work for you or trade with you, and certainly don't justify the sweeping claims you base on them.
 * There is no evidence of notability. You just wrote about what you sell and how virtuous you are, but to show notability you need hard verifiable facts such as the number of employees, funding or expenditure.
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced or inadequately sourced claims presented as fact include: mission is to ensure its employees' children can create pathways to... access to quality schools, and enrichment for parents/employees... Employees attest that the company's commitment to their children drives them to be loyal and hard-working... I love working for American Dream Clean and I think that I would like to work with them forever!... Clients often cite American Dream Clean's commitment to making a difference and positively impacting the lives of people in the communities in which their own businesses operate as a significant differentiator... "American Dream Clean is more than just a cleaning service."&mdash;fact-free self praise
 * You have an obvious conflict of interest, thank you for declaring your interest. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that your organisation is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Requested articles for the article to be created. See also guidance for editors with conflicts of interest. I note that you have declared your interest on your user page, although I'm going to modify that shortly. You will need to also declare your interest on the talk page of the article if you try again.
 * Anyone who works directly or indirectly for the organisation, or is otherwise acting on its behalf, is very 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, anyone paid directly or indirectly by the organisation they are writing about is  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose their employer, client and affiliation. They can post such a mandatory disclosure to their user page. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:    .If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared.

Before attempting to write an article again, please check that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read this important guidance.

 * I now notice that your username, incorporating the company initials "dc", indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group, which is against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Normally I'd indefinitely block any account that violates that policy, but since you didn't put "adc" and you've declared your COI I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Nevertheless, I'd advise you to create a new account with a name less tempting to a passing admin Jimfbleak - talk to me?  06:47, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of American Dream Clean
Hello Missiondc,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged American Dream Clean for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

About American Dream Clean
Thanks for posting on my talk page, before creating an article you should consider reading Notability and Reliable Source. It is one of Wiki's strong guidelines upon which it was built on. After reading this it will help you understand why your page was tagged for deletion. Zazzysa (talk) 20:56, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

I think things have moved on since you posted on my talk page, the article was first moved to Draft:American Dream Clean and then deleted. My second bullet point above still applies. I have no idea how many employees you have, or your profits or turnover, so it's hard to tell if you are notable. The emphasis is still on the good things you claim to do, but nothing to show why you not just another non-notable small company, not notable enough for a page here. "higher purpose" and "mission" also are quite weaselly. <b style="font-family:Lucida;color:red">Jimfbleak</b> - talk to me?  05:59, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
