Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Nicolette Johnson


A tag has been placed on Draft:Nicolette Johnson, 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, group, product, service, person, or point of view 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 "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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. Ahunt (talk) 12:56, 7 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Understanding I have an innate conflict of interest about the subject of Nicolette Johnson, I can see why this page was deleted - but the content was not promotional at all, it was factual and free of peacock language, backed up by sources from reputable national art galleries. Have I poisoned the well by making this page and if someone else makes it eventually, it will also be deleted as self-promotion if they use the same sources and information?
 * Apologies, I did not intend to vandalize Wikipedia and tried to avoid bias. TomDawsonWD (talk) 23:42, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
 * It looks like the page was already completely deleted TomDawsonWD (talk) 23:43, 7 March 2023 (UTC)


 * As the article was written it was promotional, not written in encyclopedic language and lacked sufficient independent third party references to establish Notability (people). If a new article is written by someone else that addresses those issues it will be kept. - Ahunt (talk) 23:48, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for taking the time, and sorry for wasting yours initially. TomDawsonWD (talk) 23:53, 7 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Ah, no problem. The process of creating an encyclopedia is naturally a bit messy. That bothers some people, but I have been here for 18 years and you get used to the vagaries of the process after a bit. - Ahunt (talk) 00:28, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
