Thank you for your message. If I rewrite my article can you review in and tell me if it will pass? Omschmitz (talk) 12:52, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
 * It is very difficult for someone close to the article's subject to write about the subject without promoting it. However, If you are determined that you can write a quality, neutral article, I can make some suggestions. While I did not see the deleted article, I good place to start is Neutral point of view, I would also suggest reading COI, to determine if you have any conflict of interest. Lastly, when you are ready to write, you can do so in your sandbox, and there will be a blue button on top to submit the page for review. You can leave a message on my talk page for any further help.

Welcome!
Hello, Omschmitz, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Certified Analytics Professional, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Blythwood (talk) 19:49, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

CAP article - lack of citations
Hello, thanks for writing this article. I'm sorry but I'm a bit concerned by the lack of citations on it proving notability. That links to a guide (here's one for companies), but basically topics which have articles on Wikipedia need to have been discussed in third-party reliable sources. Are there any extra citations you can add? I'm concerned since the article may get deleted otherwise. If so just edit the article and add citations using the cite tool. Any questions just let me know and I'll try to get back to you. Blythwood (talk) 19:51, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Certified Analytics Professional
Hello Omschmitz,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Certified Analytics Professional for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

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. ubiquity (talk) 20:04, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your response. I have reposted an updated version called "Certified Analytics Professional Program. If this one is also flagged, what other options do I have? Will someone from you staff write something?


 * You may want to take a look at Wikipedia's guideline on conflicts of interest and at the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use to make sure you comply with the disclosure requirements given in the "Paid editing without disclosure" section.
 * The article you wrote was promotional in tone and did not cite any reliable sources. Wikipedia is not the place to advertise such programs, and promotional content is routinely deleted. The version in your sandbox is only marginally better. Editors of Wikipedia are not staff, and unless there are reliable third-party (ie not associated with INFORMS) sources that discuss this certification in some detail, we cannot have an article about it.

Omschmitz (talk) 15:09, 3 May 2016 (UTC) I saw an option to request that a page be created, am I able to do that to avoid the COI deletion?
 * If you wish to request an article be written for you, please use the Requested Articles page. If you feel that you can successfully manage a COI and write a neutral, well-sourced page that meets the criteria set out in the Golden Rule, then you should use the Article Wizard to write a draft, which will be reviewed by experienced editors. If you want more help, stop by the Teahouse, Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance. Primefac (talk) 15:40, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

Omschmitz (talk) 17:06, 3 May 2016 (UTC) I have added my article to the request to be written page because it keeps being flagged as COI. How long does the article creation typically take?
 * It depends entirely on when someone sees the request and how long it takes them to write a page. There is no guarantee that it will happen in a certain timeframe. Primefac (talk) 17:28, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
