User talk:Samd577

Welcome!
Hello, Samd577, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Sam Draisey, 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.)

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

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, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Mike1901 (talk) 17:57, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

I would be really grateful if an editor could give my article a look over and check for neutrality. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

 * Samd577 - I took a look at the article you created (Sam Draisey) and made some edits to clean up grammatical and formatting issues, as well as remove some neutral point of view issues that I saw. Although this article looks to be much better, I'm concerned that it may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guidelines, as well as Wikipedia's notability guidelines regarding musicians and bands. If these guidelines are not met, then the article may be deleted if tagged for a deletion discussion. I think the article still has things that can be improved, but I think the changes I made will put you off to a good start. Good luck! :-)  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   03:10, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Sam Draisey


A tag has been placed on Sam Draisey requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about 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 "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.
