Alex Quin

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Hooray, it's another undeclared paid production of a non-notable "entrepreneur" advertorial!

Source rundown:
 * promotional feature
 * primary, self-promotion
 * primary, self-promotion
 * primary, self-promotion
 * promotional interview
 * same content as source #1
 * promotional interview

- i.e., no trace of substantial, third-party, unconnected coverage.

I am getting increasingly annoyed that we have to deal with each of these promo blurbs individually as they pop up, instead of just showing the editor the door.

 * Draftify Delete the article and SALT the article on the mainspace. It's obvious what they are trying to attempt with the page move seen here. – The Grid  ( talk )  20:37, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Admittedly that's the rationale they have used for all their articles, even the one or two that stuck. But yeah, it's kind of on the nose. - Not sure what the combination of draftify and salting is supposed to accomplish; seems contradictory? -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 21:21, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Whoops, fixed. – The Grid  ( talk )  21:29, 28 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete Promotional. The sources aren't RS, and don't meet GNG. I took a quick look at 's other articles, and they all follow this pattern. Unimportant entrepreneurs/etc who are using wikipedia for Promotion. "I want it to appear on google as a Wikipedia article because Alex Quin is notable" is pretty damning. Also, it has been a year Ziggy, maybe it is time to take down the "	This user is new to Wikipedia." template, as that just looks like smokescreen at this point.--Theredproject (talk) 14:06, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment I just nom'd Shyon Keoppel for deletion. Someone might take a closer look at the other published articles, especially the ones with the clearly promo photographs declared as own work (I note that Ziggy's images are all nom'd for deletion on Commons for this reason):
 * Luca Maggiora - "I want it to start showing on google as a Wikipedia article"
 * Paul Fabritz
 * Draft:Le Wuz
 * Draft:Easton Schirra
 * I note that he also started the article for YNW Melly, who at the time was unlikely to be notable, though has subsequently become notable. Concurrently, the page has gone through an almost complete rewriting by over 100 users. The rest of these, are just Ziggy.--Theredproject (talk) 14:23, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the opportunity I acknowledge the fact that I'm new to Wikipedia but you guys made similar mistakes when you were new too. You guys have been editing for long before you guys were made an admin. I just had to go through the reasons why the articles were nominated for deletion and also some Wikipedia guidelines for editing and I understand that most of the sources I used as references for the Article Alex Quin was not a secondary source but for the Article Shyon keoppel it has more than 5 secondary sources and Wikipedia requires at least 3 sources that talks clearly about what you're writing about. But I have one question for you must a person be notable in the world before he is considered notable? Because I know many public figures that are only notable in there country or nation but they still have a wiki page some times with 3 or 4 references but anytime I want to write about I will be tagged as either doing paid promotion or connected to the subject (Ziggy 2milli (talk) 22:13, 28 March 2019 (UTC)).
 * You need sources that are: 1) independent 2) reliable Sources 3) that cover the subject in depth. Not just any sources.--Theredproject (talk) 02:15, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

Most people am writing about are the people that I know there story because they are notable I do travel to USA for some of there talk shows and interviews I took pictures of them but I'm not really connected to them(Ziggy 2milli (talk) 09:43, 29 March 2019 (UTC)). The article Shyon Keoppel has more than five or five independent reliable sources that covers it in depth(Ziggy 2milli (talk) 09:46, 29 March 2019 (UTC)) My dreams is to become a technical writer I'm not a good writer yet though I know I'm going to be the best so what makes you guys think anybody will hire or pay me to write an article for them. I'm just writing these articles because of the passion I have for writing and also trying to develop my skills so I think you guys should correct my mistakes not accusing me of paid promotion.(Ziggy 2milli (talk) 21:53, 29 March 2019 (UTC))
 * Question for how did you come to select this set of people to write about? And how did you happen to be with them to take these photographs which you have said you took with your cell phone, given you said you don't live in the US? --Theredproject (talk) 02:15, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete and SALT. Pretty blatant case of WP:PROMO and most likely a case of WP:COI. In general, its usually frowned upon to edit or create articles on subjects you have a personal connection to. Best, GPL93 (talk) 18:56, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
