User talk:Xavier Droople

Welcome!
Hello, Xavier Droople, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:18, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Xavier Droople


A tag has been placed on User:Xavier Droople, 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. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:18, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because the company Droople offers a kind of IoT technology that is unique and is a specific and unusual use case. For public knowledge, it is interesting to see the application of IoT in the water domain (and not only on fridges and Google Homes,...). Multiple links were added to the text to refer to technical concepts that are used in a unique way. That is why this article was written especially as information was still going to be added. --Xavier Droople (talk) 15:40, 26 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Several problems here:
 * You wrote the content on your userpage, which is not an article. Your userpage is a special page where you write a small amount about yourself. The userpage guidelines have more information about what is considered acceptable content.
 * You appear to be writing about your employer, which is an inherent conflict of interest. As well, you did not disclose your employment with this company, a necessary prerequisite per Wikipedia's terms of use and mandatory paid editing disclosure policy. You do not have to be paid specifically to edit Wikipedia for this policy to apply - mere employment is sufficient.
 * A company is not entitled to have an article on Wikipedia just because it exists. All topics on Wikipedia must be notable by Wikipedia's definition to be considered worthy of inclusion. In the case of a company, it must meet the notability criteria for companies. This requires a company to have already received significant coverage from multiple reliable and independent sources. We have no interest in what a company wishes to say about itself.
