Speedy deletion nomination of The Free World Charter


A tag has been placed on The Free World Charter 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 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. 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

 * The usual criterion for inclusion in Wikipedia is explained here. Very basically, we only summarise information that's already published in reliable sources that're independent of the subject. We do this to ensure both that our information is verifiable, and that it can be written neutrally. If you have any questions, please ask. Cheers, Wily D 10:19, 31 October 2014 (UTC)


 * I moved the page to User:Silkfield/The Free World Charter, where you can have a bit more time to work on it. In all seriousness, read and understand Your first article.  Unless a subject matter can be shown to meet the inclusion standard outlike at Notability, it's ultimately going to be deleted, so it doesn't make sense to spend time on it until you're sure you can show that it does, eh?

Speedy deletion nomination of The Free World Charter


A tag has been placed on The Free World Charter, 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.

 * I did review the article because I am obliged to do so before I delete anything on Wikipedia, and your article was no where near acceptable by Wikipedia standards - there was nothing encyclopedic about it all, it was a company flyer to advertise for your service, so it was summarily deleted. As for a draft the article, a check shows that it already exists at User:Silkfield/The Free World Charter, unless you have a particular reason for wanting the version deleted back why not move this version to the draft space? Both the deleted version of the sandbox version seem to be almost identical to each other, so nothing important should be lost. TomStar81 (Talk) 01:03, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

Hello, and thank you for your patience. As I mentioned on the Talk page, I am willing to make the appropriate improvements to meet the criteria. If I can figure out how to use the Draft space I will do so, but I will need the recently deleted copy. Where can I access that?

Also, since this article is clearly on a black list of some kind, I have serious concerns that it will receive a balanced review no matter what I write. This is my third attempt to create this article, and, admittedly, the first draft was ill-conceived, but the black-listing continues to haunt. Apart from writing the article under a different title, what options do I have to ensure a fair assessment?

Thanks Silkfield (talk) 15:36, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

Re:Your message
I don't understand your request, the material on the deleted page was moved here at your request months ago. Was the link not apparent, is the draft missing something, or did you need help moving the material someplace else? TomStar81 (Talk) 03:10, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

That is not the draft that was deleted a couple of months ago. That draft is a few years old. (From October 2014) Where can I find (or can you reinstate) the version that was deleted on 19 November 2016 (UTC)? The two versions are similar but not the same. Thanks. Silkfield (talk) 10:19, 19 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Ok, I'm looking and I do see some subtle differences - if you didn't know they were there you wouldn't have seen them. Next question then: where do you want the material to go? I can put it in your userspace, or I can put it in the draft space. Its your call. TomStar81 (Talk) 21:37, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

Great thanks. Please leave it in my userspace. Thanks. Silkfield (talk) 21:48, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Done; you can find it at User:Silkfield/The Free World Charter II. (PS: The reason I didn't see your earlier message is because I do not watch other users talk pages; if you want my attention, you have to leave a message on my talk page so I know that someone needs me for something. Otherwise, messages left for me can and often do go unanswered.) TomStar81 (Talk) 23:40, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, that's great! Silkfield (talk) 20:36, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Colin R. Turner


The article Colin R. Turner has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Lack of secondary sources which establish notability per WP:BASIC or WP:AUTHOR.'"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Netoholic @ 08:07, 5 June 2018 (UTC)


 * I've removed the deletion notice on this article per your objection. It may still not meet our notability guidelines, but a longer discussion with more editors would be necessary to determine that. --Netoholic @ 10:33, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

Regarding conflict of interest (COI)
Hello, Silkfield. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Colin R. Turner, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

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).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.

Please contact me if you need any help navigating these policies. If you want to propose changes (in particular by directing editors to reliable, unconnected sources which establish the subject's notability), you can do so on the article's talk page using the above-mentioned request edit template. -- Netoholic @ 10:33, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

June 2018
Hello, Silkfield. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. I'm sorry, but F-Day: The Second Dawn of Man has been deleted as meeting WP:CSD. "This applies to pages that are exclusively promotional and would need to be fundamentally rewritten to conform with NOTFORPROMOTION." These must be rewritten from scratch from "reliable, third party sources unconnected to the subject." See WP:RS.

Identifying blatant advertising contains information about content to avoid. For more information on content that may be perceived as promotional, click User:Dlohcierekim/promo. These are just rough guides. Pages can avoid all those pitfalls and still be glaringly obvious ad copy. Sometimes pages meeting WP:CSD give the appearance of an editor violating Conflict of interest or WP:PAID. Please read and heed them if they apply to you. Please read FAQ/Organizations.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources that are  unconnected with the subject and providing verifiable information. '''That generally means someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. ''' Please see Wikipedia:Citing sources. Template:cite has templates you can use in citing your sources. Place the template at the bottom of the page, and references cited in the text will appear there.

If you want to try again, please use the Article Wizard or articles for creation to guide you through the creation process. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems.

You may find this tool useful: Google custom search Don't feel discouraged. My first attempts at creating articles were deleted too.


 * There is more information at Community portal. There is help available at THE TEAHOUSE. Cheers, and happy editing. -- Dloh cier ekim  (talk) 13:30, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

Hello Dlohcierekim that's OK. However, as discussed on Colin R. Turner talk page, I am planning to merge and redirect some content from this page into the Colin R. Turner page. Can I still make a redirect? Silkfield (talk) 13:45, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I think that would just be viewed as promotionalism and as not a likely search term.-- Dloh cier ekim  (talk) 13:50, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
 * That sounds a little assumptive. On what are you basing that assumption? In what way is redirecting a book title to its author page a bad idea? Silkfield (talk) 14:35, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
