While there may not have been an intent to promote the Philosothon, it's easy to have things come across as promotional when you're editing with a conflict of interest. Why? Because you're inclined to see things in a more positive light than someone that isn't related to the event at all.

Philosothon (talk|edit|history|logs|links|watch) (XfD|restore)

Request by Sydney59 for undeletion (incorrectly) at Refund and then my talk page as the deleting admin. I'm okay with my deletion, but I am happy if people think this should be relisted. -- KTC (talk) 02:23, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • @SmartSE, Duffbeerforme, TomStar81, and Tokyogirl79: pinging since you either commented at the original AFD or at Refund. -- KTC (talk) 02:32, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Uphold Delete This is a promotional articles designed exclusively to advertise for the event in question. We didn't need it a week ago when it was deleted and we don't need it now. TomStar81 (Talk) 07:02, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Overturn If this was a promotional article why does it include a section titled "Criticisms"? Also if it was designed specifically to promote the event why was much of content published by me later in a peer reviewed double blind reputable journal; "The American Philosophical Association"?

http://www.apaonline.org/resource/collection/808CBF9D-D8E6-44A7-AE13-41A70645A525/v12n1_Teaching.pdf (page 13) This has been further edited by others since this article was first placed on Wikipedia...but the point is it was not written as publicity.

Finally if it was "designed exclusively to advertise the event" what evidence is there from the article that this is advertising? What phrases and quotes are there in the article that indicate it is anything more than an account of the history and nature of the event? It has never been stated by any editors what exactly is promotional...in which case it could be removed. Suffice to say it is not advertising nor was it ever intended to be.

  • Here's some more: Yahoo, Daily Echo. The Daily Echo is fairly short, so that'd probably be considered a WP:TRIVIAL source overall, though. I'm going to check my school database next. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 15:08, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Here's what's I've found from my school database. Since I can't link to those, I'm going to just list the citations. I haven't compared these against the ones above, so there may be some repeated cites.
