User talk:TIAOWiki

Welcome!
Hello, TIAOWiki, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Draft:Tourism Industry Association of Ontario, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Tourism Industry Association of Ontario


A tag has been placed on Draft:Tourism Industry Association of Ontario, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.
 * It appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement of https://www.tiaontario.ca/cpages/about. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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 deleted 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.

February 2022
 Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because of the following problems: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must: Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  21:56, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

How to delete a draft article?
I'm looking to delete Draft:Tourism Industry Association of Ontario. Could an administrator complete this request? TIAOWiki (talk) 18:20, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
 * It doesn't show you as the creator, and you're blocked, so not likely. CUPIDICAE💕  18:27, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

Blocked for sockpuppetry
 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts&#32;per the evidence presented at Sockpuppet investigations/TIAOWiki. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. -- TNT (talk • she/her) 20:12, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

Users who are compensated for any publicity efforts related to the subject of their Wikipedia contributions are deemed to be paid editors, regardless of whether they were compensated specifically to edit Wikipedia.
 * 1) Your account name represents an organization, which is something expressly disallowed by Wikipedia's username policy. You need to select a name username which represents you as an individual for an unblock to be considered.
 * 2) Sharing access to your account was also another violation of the username policy. The person who creates an account must never allow others to use it, for any reason.
 * 3) We have little interest in what an organization's representatives want to say about it. It is an inherent conflict of interest, which compromises your ability to be an objective judge of your organization's notability, and write from the required neutral point of view. You have clearly expressed that you have no intention or desire to edit Wikipedia other than to create an article about your organization.
 * 4) Your organization's interns - paid or not - are still considered paid editors by our mandatory paid editing disclosure policy. The internships themselves are considered compensation, regardless of the absence of remuneration. They are representing your organization, not disinterested third parties. The paid editing policy's section entitled "Additional notes on who must disclose" says:

Interns are considered employees for this purpose. If they are directed or expected to edit Wikipedia as part of an internship, they must disclose.

I am not an administrator, so I cannot comment on the deleted draft article since I cannot see deleted content. However an organization - for-profit or non-profit - must meet Wikipedia's notability criteria to be considered worthy of inclusion. Significant coverage (not brief mentions or routine coverage) from multiple reliable and independent sources is required to meet this criteria. Being a worthy cause isn't enough - sufficient quantity and quality of third-party coverage is what we need to see.

Given the above I am not optimistic about your chances for being unblocked. But maybe the reviewing admin will have a different point of view. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 19:58, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
