Wikipedia:Quarantine of content created by undisclosed paid editors

Process

 * 1) Review the page, including page history and authors, and verify that the conditions for quarantining are met.
 * 2) Commit to defending your judgement that the page is promotional, and that the author is an undeclared promotional editor.
 * 3) WP:Move the page to a subpage of this page, Quarantine promotional Undeclared Paid Editor product.  If moving from mainspace, suppress the redirect, or have the redirect deleted per WP:CNR, check for incoming links and clean them up as required.
 * 4) Replace the content of the page with Quarantine promotional Undeclared Paid Editor product blanked
 * 5) Advise the author.  A script will be written to do this.  Optionally advise any prior approving reviewers, if you feel they failed to recognize UPE product when you think they should have.

Only promotional topics
A topic may be considered promotional if it meets one of the following criteria:


 * (1) It is a current for-profit company or organisation, including unincorporated individuals such as YouTubers;
 * (2) The products of (1). NB. This includes artistic or creative products including books, songs and videos.
 * (3) The CEO or Founder of (1).
 * (4) Biographies of rising young people. This includes people with notable abilities or credentials who will likely become leaders. This includes well-referenced biographies, but is aimed at disguised CVs.

If not promotional topic as defined, do not quarantine.

In mainspace, only new pages
Do not unilaterally quarantine old, previously reviewed articles, instead use AfD. Quarantining is intended as on option during New Page Patrol or AfC reviewing.

Only Single Purpose Accounts suspected of being UPEs

Appeals for release from quarantine
The author is to be invited to appeal for release of the page from quarantine by complying with the policy Paid-contribution disclosure. (template/script to be written)
