Deletion of Eurospares article[edit]

Hi, thanks for the information re: COI and advertising. I spent a lot of time ensuring that the content was accurate and not written like a promotion. I included lots of sources/citations as well. I have requested to get the page back for a draft and would welcome education/collaboration on how to improve it? What can we do please? MotionMogul123 (talk) 08:19, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Cristina Dinu, Metal Artist article[edit]

Hello i was trying to post an article on the Metal Artist named ”Cristina Dinu” from Romania, on the Romanian wiki and you deleted it. I am new to Wikipedia and I want to adhere to the rules here - can you help me with a guide on why you deleted it and how can I write it properly for it not to be deleted anymore?

You may wish to UPE block them, they don’t seem to get the point. v/r - Seawolf35 ^T--C 19:20, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Heading[edit]

Hello Jimfbleak, could you put back User:BlueRubberDuckie/sandbox as I was currently teaching this person to translate an article from FR wp ? We are working on it now. Natacha LSP (talk) 15:14, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Natacha LSP, it's better to translate off-wiki, but I'll do as you say for now. Note that the current referencing style is completely incompatible with Wikipedia:Inline citation and the references themselves do not seem to be independent third-party sources. My French isn't great, but the tone seems to be largely promotional rather than giving us independent data on the outcomes. You won't be able to leave the text unimproved indefinitely though Jimfbleak - talk to me? 15:24, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes bit it is a sandbox ! Newbies should be able to edit their sandboxes to train :) Natacha LSP (talk) 15:26, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Rosiestep can you explain to me what was wrong in editing the sandbox this way ? Natacha LSP (talk) 15:28, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Natacha LSP: - It is okay to edit and/or teach in a sandbox. If the sandbox is being used for article creation (vs. a place to keep track of favorite tools, etc.), the content should comply to policies regarding citing sources, plagiarism, close-paraphrasing, biographies of living people, photos of living people, etc. --Rosiestep (talk) 17:46, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My first entry deleted[edit]

I am trying to start a catalogue of biographies of non-fiction authors in the genre of my interest and the very first one has been deleted as self-promotion. I can't see what is self-promotion. I have also referenced from outside sources, not directly to the website of the author. Can it be restored? Please tell me what I have done wrong and how to fix - I checked other similar authors and they have similar entries. It took me ages! :( Ikzhikal (talk) 14:06, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you - please could I have my work back into my Sandbox, so that I don't lose what I have done? I will read all the information you have sent me and respond/adjust. I built this entry by referring to other Wikipedia articles for very similar authors (with similar notability) as a template. They also have mentions of organisations, their companies, events they have been involved in, their books in the references - so very confused how the articles for those authors were approved! Thanks, S. Ikzhikal (talk) 07:18, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ikzhikal, I can restore the text, but you don't appear to have addressed my COI query yet, you must do so. Also the fact that other articles have not been deleted doesn't help you, either they met the criteria or they should be deleted as well. See What about article x?. Also note that many articles would have been accepted before the notability guidelines were made stricter. If you try again, you will still have to find proper refs and evidence of notability as defined here. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 08:16, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay thank you. Unsure how I can address the COI for this article - or indeed any of the other authors I am planning to do biographies on? Can you advise? Many thanks. Ikzhikal (talk) 10:20, 30 April 2024 (UTC)to the article talk page[reply]

Ikzhikal if you have a non-financial link to the author (you are her, a friend or relative), add the following to the article talk page {{Connected contributor|User1= Ikzhikal}}. If you have a paid relationship (eg agent, manager or publisher), you must complete the following {{paid|user=Ikzhikal | client= }} and post it on your user page, User:Ikzhikal. It's all about being transparent. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:09, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Solutionary entry[edit]

Hello! I am new to writing on Wikipedia. I created a draft in my sandbox and thought I'd made a mistake so I created an article directly. The sandbox entry was removed by you but I also do not see the article which said it was being reviewed 2 months ago. Please help by directing me how to properly move forward with the submission of the article for review. Do I create a new article or a sandbox one? Thank you!
