Speedy deletion nomination of American Mirror: Intimations of Immortality


A tag has been placed on American Mirror: Intimations of Immortality, 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. Riteboke (talk) 21:34, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello Transformativesimplicity. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Tigran Tsitoghdzyan, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Transformativesimplicity. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Whisperjanes (talk) 17:21, 11 August 2021 (UTC) Hello Whisperjanes. I appreciate your message and the information provided regarding paid edits. This is to confirm that I am not in any way, either direct or indirectly employed by Tigran Tsitoghdzyan or any party directly or indirectly connected to the artist. There is no financial compensation (or pay of any form) for any of my edits for Tigran Tsitoghdzyan. This statement also apply to any of my future contributions in this (and all wikipedia platforms) as all my contributions are on a volunteer, unpaid basis.User:Transformativesimplicity Transformativesimplicity (talk) 17:44, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

 Your account has been blocked indefinitely for advertising or promotion and violating the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use. This is because you have been making promotional edits to topics in which you have a financial stake, yet you have failed to adhere to the mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a form of conflict of interest (COI) editing which involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is strictly prohibited. Using this site for advertising or promotion is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, please read our guide to appealing blocks to understand more about unblock requests, and then add the text at the end of your user talk page. For that request to be considered, you must: GeneralNotability (talk) 17:48, 11 August 2021 (UTC) Transformativesimplicity (talk) 18:14, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Confirm that you have read and understand the Terms of Use and paid editing disclosure requirements.
 * State clearly how you are being compensated for your edits, and describe any affiliation or conflict of interest you might have with the subjects you have written about.
 * Describe how you intend to edit such topics in the future.

Some advice relating to your unblock request
I don't know whether you have been paid to edit or not, but your editing has been unmistakably promotional, both in the article you mention and in the other pages you have created, and that is sufficient reason for a block, irrespective of whether you are paid. In fact the other pages you have created were perhaps even more strikingly promotional than the article you have mentioned. Also, the article you have extensively edited was already full of blatantly promotional material before you started on it, in a way which suggests there may have been a history of editing on behalf of the subject of the article. My impression is that you are unlikely to be unblocked unless you show an understanding of the promotional nature of your past editing, and indicate that any future editing will not be similar, as well as dealing with the specific issue of paid editing. Also, if you have any kind of personal connection to the subjects you have written about, whether paid or not, you should read the guideline on conflict of interest.

Thank you for your advice. Please Mark Artist Tigran Tsitoghdzyan's Page for Speedy Deletion
Hi JBW, after looking into the matter, it has come to my attention that the artist did in fact, without my consent or authorization, pay one of my freelancers to write and promote himself, and his work on Wikipedia. The editing, was done under this (now blocked), username. I am a writer, and have a small writing company; However, writing wikipedia articles is not a service I offer, as I am aware how this kind of paid self-promotion violates the Wikipedia platform guideline. Please mark Artist Tigran Tsitoghdzyan's Page for a speedy deletion. Thank you. TransformativesimplicityTransformativesimplicity (talk) 12:00, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
 * There's no need to remove the article. Nothing written by this account remains in the article anymore. --jpgordon&#x1d122;&#x1d106;&#x1D110;&#x1d107; 21:58, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
