Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Schuckpolo. 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 DiscoverOrg, 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. Thank you. —Largo Plazo (talk) 02:15, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Please do not use Wikipedia to promote businesses. Wikipedia is not the Yellow pages. If you want to list a company for potential customers to find, please consider alternative outlets. Thank you. —Largo Plazo (talk) 02:15, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of DiscoverOrg


A tag has been placed on DiscoverOrg 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 an organization or company, 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. 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 "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. red dogsix (talk) 02:15, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Status and Advice

 * As reviewing administrator, I deleted the article.
 * Wikipedia is not a directory. See our rules on  what  makes an organization notable. In particular, you will need references providing substantial coverage from third-party independent reliable sources, not press releases or mere announcements. In addition,  Our articles describe the subject, not advocate for it or praise it, and are directed not to prospective clients of contributors, but to the general public  who may want the sort of information found in encyclopdias..


 * From what you said, you apparently have a conflict of interest.  I remind you of our rules on Conflict of Interest. If you are associated with the organization, either directly or as a paid editor, you must declare this.  See our Terms of Use, particularly with respect to  paid contributions without disclosure

In addition, I advise you very strongly not to use any of the services who will offer to write the article for you. Almost none of them follow our Terms of us, and articles they add are immediately removed as soon as we detect them.  DGG ( talk ) 03:37, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
