Nomination of Global Music Awards for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Global Music Awards is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Global Music Awards until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. 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. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 15:21, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

Hello Motivatedjack. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, 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:Motivatedjack. 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. --Ronz (talk) 19:20, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi Ronz, I am using Wikipedia as my interest and I assure that I am not being paid for anything. I am mistaken. I try to follow the guidelines and have gone through various guidelines before making edits. I would like to welcome further assistance if there is any confusion.

 * Thank you. Please be very careful not to simply to echo public relations press by taking the time to find clearly independent sources that provide encyclopedic context (historical, competitive, comparative, etc).
 * Given the strict requirements on editors when editing articles under  special editing restrictions, it may be a good idea to avoid such articles, including biographical information. --Ronz (talk) 18:20, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi Ronz. Thanks for the respective guidelines and I will surely be careful. Motivatedjack (talk) 06:50, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
