User talk:ScottAlan212

Welcome!
Hello, ScottAlan212, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you edited was Scott Alan, 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. 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 any other 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 firm 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.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: 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, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Widr (talk) 22:49, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Scott Alan


A tag has been placed on Scott Alan, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page 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. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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, you can place a request here. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:26, 29 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi, I have nominated the article Scott Alan for deletion for being unambiguously promotional in tone and intention, and I also suspect that you might have a conflict of interest, and if so, you are strongly discouraged from editing that article. Here are some examples of inappropriate promotional tone:
 * "many of Broadway's elite have sung his music, including Tony Award nominee Liz Callaway..."
 * "...Tracie Thoms, Eden Espinosa and more, all of which can be found featured on his debut CD Dreaming Wide Awake: The Music of Scott Alan."
 * "Alan released his second CD, Keys, which features more of Broadway and West End elite singing his work, including two-time Tony Award winner Sutton Foster" :*"Alan played the famed IndigO2 at the The O2 Arena."
 * "...and many more of today's brightest Broadway and International Theatre stars."
 * The article is full of promotional statements that attempt to glorify and elevate the subject, Scott Alan, by way of the accomplishments of the performers on these albums. Associated acts are referred to as "elite", popular locations referred to as "famed", as well as other marketing nonsense. The article was clearly submitted to promote the subject, and for that reason I have nominated it for speedy deletion. If you think the article's subject meets the general notability guideline, you may wish to find significant coverage from reliable sources independent of the subject, (ex: NOT sites that serve to promote), then resubmit your article via the Articles for Creation process.
