World Branding Forum
I was wondering if you might have any conflict of interest with regard to World Branding Forum, World Branding Awards, and Peter Pek, and whether you might need to make a declaration in accordance with Conflict of interest? Edwardx (talk) 19:26, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Hello, I have a history of working on stories related to brands and the branding industry, but I have no relationships with the subjects you have listed. I wish more people would help with updating these articles, I could do with some help. Do let me know if you have any other concerns. - SMasters (talk) 09:22, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your prompt reply. Noting the use of the present tense, have you ever had any relationship with any of those three, World Branding Forum, World Branding Awards, or Peter Pek? Also, what about Bryan Loo (who I note below is nominated for deletion), have you ever had any relationship with him or his company (ies)? Edwardx (talk) 11:23, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
 * No, I have no relationships with any of these people or organisations. If you look at articles that I have started or contributed to, you can see that I have worked on/started a range of articles on people and companies - and I can confirm that I have no relationship with any of them. I have not updated my list for a while, but I will add the newer articles that I have worked on for the sake of transparency. For Bryan Loo, it is the same situation as the rest. I get Google alerts on branding stories and I sometimes think they are notable enough and work on them. I have seen the state of the current article and it is nothing like how I first drafted it a long time ago. You can see many people have worked on the article since then. I have made my comments on this in the AfD as requested. – SMasters (talk) 12:19, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry to be pressing you on this point, but you again only refer to the present - have you ever had a relationship with any of those four? As for Bryan Loo, you started it on 8 June 2014, and last edited it on 9 June. However, the article you created is much more promotional than the current version. Edwardx (talk) 01:35, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
 * No, I have never, ever had any relationships of any kind with any of these people or companies, now or in the past. The information I include are sourced from media coverage I can find at the time when I am working on an article. If I have a short edit on an article, it is because it would have been transferred from my sandbox, where I usually start articles. I normally note this when I transfer the article and start it. I hope this clarifies. – SMasters (talk) 10:40, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Articles for deletion
I have nominated some of your articles for deletion as they appear to be promotional. Please don't be offended, most of your article creations are sound and some are important. Good luck with your editing. Philafrenzy (talk) 09:43, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the note. No offence taken. These things happen. Some things may be notable at the time but may not be after a while. I will let the AfDs take their course. – SMasters (talk) 10:42, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion
