User talk:Success302

Welcome!

Hello, Success302, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Draft:Mythlok, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Mythlok

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Mythlok, 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 Wikipedia: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 deleting administrator. She was ^afairy 05:00, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello Success302. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Mythlok, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Success302. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Success302|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 07:00, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

I’m not paid for the article Success302 (talk) 08:21, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Great. Have you any connection with the subject? -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 08:22, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Yes, Mythlok was founded by my friend (Nitten Nair).

He asked me if I can help publish his Company page on Wikipedia and I did for him.

The goal of the article is not to promote the company Success302 (talk) 08:24, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Success302: Someone will eventually write about it if it is notable per WP:NCORP. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 08:51, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

So, I can’t get the page back live? Success302 (talk) 08:52, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Please read and heed WP:COI. Due to your unawareness of the promotional nature of your edits and your conflict of interest, you will need to gain more experience writing in an encyclopedic style before attempting article creation. Please read the deletion notice I left. Thanks -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 08:55, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

So, can I edit it and republish the article? Success302 (talk) 08:57, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

This is just a word of caution in good faith. Even if you declare a WP:COI and write about Mythlok, it will likely get rejected since it is far from being considered notable. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 08:59, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

So, Mythlok can’t have a page on Wikipedia. I have a partner that wrote published his page and it got approved Success302 (talk) 09:01, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Success302: If it were approved, then I guess it would have passed the notability guidelines. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 10:03, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

What partner? We don't have "pages". We have encyclopedia articles. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 15:42, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

And that in no way changes the promotional nature of your edits. Thanks -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 15:43, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Success302. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. A page you created  Draft:Mythlok has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seemed to be unambiguous advertising which only promoted a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to have been fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic.

This article needs to be rewritten from scratch from reliable, third party sources unconnected to the subject. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It is not an outlet for promotion, advocacy, or advertising.

Information on content and common pitfalls to avoid can be located here and here, however be aware that this is not an exhaustive list. Pages can sometimes avoid these pitfalls and still be seen as an ad copy or unambiguously promotional, particularly if the editor appears to be a paid editor or has some other conflict of interest. Please review these policies, including the FAQ page on organizations to determine if this applies to you.

Common mistakes or beliefs about promotional editing center on the assumption that promotional editing only applies to promotion for commercial gain. Some tags or G11 nominations are met with confusion by creators, particularly if they spend much time reading or creating corporate documents, mission/vision statements, or similar copy for their organization. The frequent exposure to promotional tone may make it difficult to notice non-neutral phrases or styles, as the editor has grown accustomed to seeing it as everyday writing or speech. This can be difficult, but not impossible, to unlearn.

Another common assumption is that the prohibition against promotional editing applies only to businesses or organizations. Anything can be promoted, including a person, a non-commercial organization, a point of view, etc. and CV/resumé's are by their nature promotional.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources that are unconnected with the subject and providing verifiable information. That generally means someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. Please see this page on citing sources and Wikipedia:Common sourcing mistakes (notability). This page has templates you can use in citing your sources. Place the template {{Reflist}} at the bottom of the page, and references cited in the text will appear there. New article creation can be difficult, but the Article Wizard can help you. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems.You can ask for help at Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk and on IRC chat Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Adventure is a useful tutorial.

New article creation can be difficult and frustrating. Sometimes it is better to first gain experience by fixing and helping maintain existing articles. Wikipedia:Community portal/Opentask contains links to things that badly need doing, if you are so inclined. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 08:19, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

But I was not trying to promote the company. The article was written cause I want the company to have an history Success302 (talk) 08:22, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

-- Deepfriedokra (talk) 08:19, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

That is probably more suited to the compnay's website than an encyclopedia. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 08:56, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
