Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Spartan Mounts


A tag has been placed on Draft:Spartan Mounts, 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. --- Possibly (talk) 00:53, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

May 2021
Hello Veltmann1988. The nature of your edits 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:Veltmann1988. 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. --- Possibly (talk) 00:54, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

Copied from Draft talk:Spartan Mounts
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (I'm not being paid to create it, nor do I have any financial interest or stake in the company. Look, I get that you probably have millions of people on here every day trying to promote their business, and this MAY just seem like another one to tag and delete. I get it. But I'm trying to learn Wikipedia and do it right. I'm trying to follow the rules. There's just 87,612 things to read, and articles to follow, and pages to learn, and what seems like code you have to learn to a degree....I mean, honestly it's a LOT (I published the information because I didn't know how to "Save" it as a draft; I thought I read that content in drafts could be deleted). And on top of that, the visual editor takes forever to load (probably a user problem, but I'm sure you sense a little frustration on my end). So forgive me if this seems like just another waste of your time, but several of my buddies who have been in the Army and Marines both love their products. And honestly, it would be good to get Spartan's name out because I think a lot of enthusiasts would find this brand helpful. Could I add citations and information to another page? Sure. Could I edit another page? Yes. But I want to create pages - that's what I find passion in. If that doesn't work with the admins, I understand - just please tell me and help me understand why.

 * we only have articles on notable (click this link) subjects. Notable subjects are those that have been written about in the media (newspapers, magazines, books and so on). It is extremely unlikely that reliable sources have been written for a wall mount manufacturer. A search confirms that. Ask yourself : how many magazine articles have ever been written about wall mounts? It's a very boring topic that is not going to attract the coverage required to have a page here. That's why you do not see a lot of articles on rivet manufacturers, fish bait companies or your local dry cleaners: they are usually too boring to attract the news coverage required to be here. This page will likely be deleted soon, so I will copy this to your user page so you can read it. --- Possibly (talk) 02:32, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
