Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Phoebe Gould. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Kevin Gould, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Your username suggests you're related to them, please read WP:COI. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:48, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Kevin Gould


A tag has been placed on Kevin Gould, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Multiple accounts
It appears that you and User:Jemima Alexander are the same person, given that you've been solely editing the page about your father. If you have been using multiple accounts, then be aware that this is not permitted- you must only use 1 account, and abandon the rest. If you aren't the same person, but you asked them to help you defend the article you created, this is also discouraged, and you shouldn't being encouraging others to create accounts to defend your articles. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:01, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Joseph2302 (talk) Not the same person as "Jemima Alexander", no. The page shouldn't be deleted as it Kevin Gould is a legitimate public figure, as his references indicate.


 * I disagree, up for the admins to decide though. Also, not written in neutral tone, which is unsuprising given your clear conflict of interest. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:11, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Joseph2302 (talk) Yes the subject is my father, as I am his assistant. I did research this and it is not a conflict of interest at all. But thanks for the concern.


 * I respectfully disagree. Writing about a family member, there is an inherent conflict of interest. —C.Fred (talk) 15:17, 5 July 2015 (UTC)


 * A conflict of interest is having an external relationship with the article subject, which you clearly do. Therefore, you have a conflict of interest. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:24, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Joseph2302 (talk) C.Fred Yet the page is not biased or attempting to be complimentary about the subject, but instead completely factual.


 * Wikipedia wants text that is supported by reliable sources, not things you claim to be correct. You need to find more reliable sources. Also, the tone wasn't very neutral/factual, though that's mostly been cleaned up. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:32, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
