Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Nvvathsan. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Pushpa Srivathsan, 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.

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. GABgab 19:16, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Re. Managing COI
Hello GAB, my daughter and I have created the page on Pushpa Srivatsan, who is my wife. I would like this to be a neutral biography. Can you help me in pointing out what may be the conflict? The sections I edited and added are all what have actually happened. Since I am new on Wikipedia maybe there are issues. But I am not able to identify what these may be. So request your help.

 * The single best guide to COI I can offer you is our policy on the subject. Some worthwhile supplements are this and this. The central tenet is that COI is based on affiliations, not only intentions. For instance, it would be inappropriate for me to create/edit an article on my sister or boss, since I have a vested interest which would compromise the page. Simply put, we discourage such editing. Certain elements of the article do not reflect Wikipedia's encyclopedic style, and raise concerns regarding our neutrality policy.


 * My recommendation is that you use the article's talkpage to make edit suggestions, as per this guideline. Third-party editors will then assess the requests. I understand that this is a lot of information to throw at you, but I hope it helps. Regards, GABgab 18:35, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Requesting Deletion
Thank you GAB. I would like to request deletion of the article. The subject is also uncomfortable and would prefer her privacy intact. My daughter has also put in a deletion request. Can you help me proceed? Regards, Nvvathsan (talk) 11:25, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but I cannot unilaterally delete the page. A couple of options might be proposed deletion or the articles for deletion process. GABgab 21:28, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
