COI
Thanks for message. Your two attempts at articles relate to two companies which are linked to each other. You seem likely to have a conflict of interest and you must declare it. If you work directly or indirectly for an organisation, or otherwise are acting on its behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. If you are paid directly or indirectly by the organisation you are writing about, 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:. 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. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message.

Also read the following regarding writing an article
 * you must provide 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, YouTube, IMDB, social media 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. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls
 * The notability guidelines for organisations and companies have been updated. The primary criteria has five components that must be evaluated separately and independently to determine if it is met:
 * significant coverage in
 * independent,
 * multiple,
 * reliable,
 * secondary sources.
 * Note that an individual source must meet all four criteria to be counted towards notability.


 * Your sources for info about the company include the company's website, interviews with the company, and data posted by the company or taken from its website (see Owler, Forbes).
 * Having celebrity guests doesn't make it notable, notability isn't transferable..


 * Your text says 2500 employees, but one of your supposed reliable sources says 351


 * you must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Yours was a slaes pitch with weasel words like "offering" when you mean "selling". Unsourced or self-sourced claims presented as fact include offering...  luxury vacations... over 55 offices in more than 30 countries... numerous celebrities... A&K pioneered travel by private jet... the first to feature the Concorde''


 * there shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
 * you must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. You must also reply to the COI request above

The deleted text is pretty valueless without proper sources and with a misunderstanding of what notability is. The infobox is the only thing worth keeping, code follows if you decide to recreate following the instructions above

Abercrombie & Kent is an American multinational travel company

 * Yea thanks, but I don't think I'll bother creating the Abercrombie & Kent article again. Nevermind. And regarding the bit about the celebrities, I just grabbed that info from wikipedia itself. Perhaps you care to delete it from Geoffrey Kent as well? Oh never mind someone deleted it already. Monumentel (talk) 08:42, 31 January 2019 (UTC)



Speedy deletion declined: OpenSync (software)
I noticed that you tagged the page OpenSync (software) for speedy deletion with the reason "notability". However, "notability" is not currently one of our criteria for speedy deletion, so I have removed the speedy deletion tag. You can propose the page for deletion if it appears to be an uncontroversial matter, or take the page to Articles for deletion for discussion on the merits if you still seek deletion. Thanks!
