Speedy deletion nomination of User:Phkitty/sandbox/Park Hotel Group


A tag has been placed on User:Phkitty/sandbox/Park Hotel Group requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/park-hotel-group-appoints-discover-the-world-as-its-global-sales-agent-in-usa-and-india-300075109.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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. &#124; Uncle Milty  &#124;  talk  &#124;  08:34, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not for advertising or promotion
Even if the copyright issue were resolved, that material is quite unacceptable. An encyclopedia requires a WP:Neutral point of view, but "Committed to delivering exceptional service with love and passion, the acclaimed Park Hotel Group... world-renowned brand... synonymous with premium accommodation... " is pure puffery, a blatant advertisement. Anything like that is deleted from Wikipedia at sight.

Your username, as well as the tone of the page, suggests that you work for the company. Please read Conflict of interest and the Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. JohnCD (talk) 09:41, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello Phkitty. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Park Hotel Group, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but 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 serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are 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, 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:Phkitty. 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. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Nobody ( talk ) 08:24, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
