Proposed deletion of Niem Green


The article Niem Green has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Seattle (talk) 02:38, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Niem Green


A tag has been placed on Niem Green, 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.

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.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Niem Green has been reverted. Your edit here to Niem Green was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mk-L9kdHzA) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Niem Green


A tag has been placed on Niem Green, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be 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 or person 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/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or 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. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for 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.

Promotional editing
The reason I've deleted the page is that it was fairly promotional in how it was written. Avoid words like "passion" and phrases like "Niem's passion for helping others and spreading his "open eyes" philosophy". This reads like it was written by someone involved with PR, which is not what Wikipedia looks for in an article. If you are a PR/marketing person then you may want to seek help from someone when it comes to writing new articles since it's very, very difficult for most PR/marketing people to write a neutral article because you're so used to writing in a promotional manner.

Other than that, there does seem to be an issue with notability. Green does appear to be successful, but success does not always translate into notability as far as Wikipedia is concerned. You must show where Green has received coverage in independent and reliable sources (WP:RS) like newspapers and the like. The issue with sources like the NYT piece is that it's not actually about Green- he's quoted, but being quoted does not automatically make someone notable. The Reuters article is better, although some would likely argue that it's not really about Green or his company per se, although I'd probably see it as usable since it is heavily mentioned. However the issue is that one source is not enough in this instance to show notability and just doing something won't give notability unless it's covered in reliable sources that are independent of Green. Something like this source is a step in the right direction, but even then that's still just two sources and Wikipedia requires quite a bit to show notability. (Can be anywhere from 3-10 sources, depending on what the article is about.) Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   11:11, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

Blocked
Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   11:13, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
 * This is not meant to be a permanent block. I have noticed that your username appears to be the same as a marketing company (from what I can see) and I'm willing to unblock you if you change your username. However you will need to be aware that paid editing is discouraged, mostly because of the obvious conflict of interest (WP:COI). Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   11:13, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
