== Article deletion (Draft:Ira Vouk) ==
Dear Jimfbleak. Thank you for your quick revision of ]. It was deleted by you due to "G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion". I would like to inquire if it's allowed to re-write the page in a different manner and remove any references that may be deemed promotional? Ira Vouk is a notable figure in the hospitality industry and I believe that her contributions deserve a wiki page. I admire her for her work but I'm capable of remaining neutral and producing a less "colorful" article. Will you consider reinstating the draft so that I can edit it? If not, would you be so kind to suggest any other options that are available for this article to exist in wiki space?
sincerely,

Hi Jim,

Got your message, thanks. First article attempt got deleted. Probably quite common. Still sad.
Hi Jimfbleak. At 12.14 today you deleted ], it has now been recreated as ]. As far as I can recall, this is identical to the deleted article. Presumably the same argument for deletion holds for the recreated article, whilst as the editor is just copypasting ] under different titles should the user-page also be rev-delled? - ] (]) 12:52, 14 October 2023 (UTC)


As you rightly mentioned, conflict of interest (COI) is the problem. Is there a workaround? Do I get someone else to write about me or are there more ways to just about keep article neutral enough for publication? Can I trouble you to have a look whether if it's worth my time requesting for a retrieval of the deleted content for another try? Thanks.

{{ping|Jimfbleak}} You gave me no time to respond - I'd only just started the article. I assumed an article in Draft was not public and therefore not subject to Copyright, so I copied the information from its source to start the article, so I didn't have to flick back and forth across various sources. I had no intention at all of publishing the material as it was, to the public. Can you please either remove or hide the section of the article body that contains the copyrighted information and reinstate the article, or undelete the article so I can do this myself? ] (]) 21:31, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

== Unreasonable deletion == == NOTHERE user ==
I would like to know as to why the draft on Podim Conference was deleted. The event is of significant importance for entrepreneurship in Maribor and the wider country of Slovenia, as well as the Balkan area. The sources are various websites, even government websites, and newspaper websites that contribute to the legitimacy of the event. I have found similar events on Misplaced Pages as well, for example, Slush (event), which seems to be okay? The page for Podim was done in a similar manner. Granted, the conference is much smaller in scale, but its roots go way back to 1980 when the event first happened. The purpose of the page is definitely not advertisement by any means, just represents the role it has in the region, as well as the validity of the event.
Feedback as to why it was so promptly deleted would be greatly appreciated, as well as some tips on how to improve it or make it appropriate for Misplaced Pages. Thank you in advance.

Dear Jimfbleak,
Hi there! I realize my publication of the page was too hasty and I didn't make the text original enough, nor did I add enough varied sources. I sincerely apologize. I did do a lot of research though and spent a lot of time building the page so I wouldn't want it to go completely to waste. Would it be possible to retrograde the page back to a community draft? I'm not sure if that's possible on Misplaced Pages so I was wondering if you could help me out. Cheers. ] (]) 15:51, 17 October 2023 (UTC)


I hope you're doing well. I noticed that the Misplaced Pages page for Derek Warburton was recently deleted under the reason "G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion."
:Replied on user talk page, poorly sourced copyright violation ] - ] 08:35, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
I believe the deletion may have been made in error, as I have reviewed the content of the article and would like to provide clarification regarding its notability. Derek Warburton has been covered extensively in independent, reliable sources such as:


* '''Forbes''': An interview discussing branding in the media and entertainment sectors. ()
== Deleting Draft Pages of Notable Individuals ==
* '''Elle Canada''': Featured for promoting international emerging designers. ()
* '''Flaunt Magazine''': Covered for launching a makeup line in collaboration with FACE Stockholm. ()
* '''Glamour Magazine''': Featured for his philanthropic work encouraging self-love. ()
* '''Mr. Warburton Magazine''': As the founder and editor-in-chief, showcasing art, fashion, and celebrity. ()


Furthermore, we understand the importance of adhering to Misplaced Pages's guidelines for neutrality and verifiability, and we are currently in the process of editing the article to ensure it aligns with these standards.
You hastily made assumptions on my notable person qualifying draft that was properly initiated using conflict of interest statement. Please restore to draft asap as this is not completed and numerous citations of reliable news sources and independent citations will be made prior to submission. Thanks. ] (]) 15:17, 18 October 2023 (UTC)


I would be grateful if you could review the article again, considering these improvements and the sources supporting his notability. If the article can be restored, I will continue to monitor and improve it to meet Misplaced Pages's guidelines.

::Conflict of Interest: I fully acknowledge and respect Misplaced Pages’s Conflict of Interest (COI) policy.

COI workaround?

Hi Jim,

Got your message, thanks. First article attempt got deleted. Probably quite common. Still sad.

As you rightly mentioned, conflict of interest (COI) is the problem. Is there a workaround? Do I get someone else to write about me or are there more ways to just about keep article neutral enough for publication? Can I trouble you to have a look whether if it's worth my time requesting for a retrieval of the deleted content for another try? Thanks.

Request for Review of Deletion of "Derek Warburton" Misplaced Pages Page

Dear Jimfbleak,

I hope you're doing well. I noticed that the Misplaced Pages page for Derek Warburton was recently deleted under the reason "G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion." I believe the deletion may have been made in error, as I have reviewed the content of the article and would like to provide clarification regarding its notability. Derek Warburton has been covered extensively in independent, reliable sources such as:

  • Forbes: An interview discussing branding in the media and entertainment sectors. (Forbes)
  • Elle Canada: Featured for promoting international emerging designers. (Elle Canada)
  • Flaunt Magazine: Covered for launching a makeup line in collaboration with FACE Stockholm. (Flaunt)
  • Glamour Magazine: Featured for his philanthropic work encouraging self-love. (Derek Warburton Press)
  • Mr. Warburton Magazine: As the founder and editor-in-chief, showcasing art, fashion, and celebrity. (Mr. Warburton Magazine)

Furthermore, we understand the importance of adhering to Misplaced Pages's guidelines for neutrality and verifiability, and we are currently in the process of editing the article to ensure it aligns with these standards.

I would be grateful if you could review the article again, considering these improvements and the sources supporting his notability. If the article can be restored, I will continue to monitor and improve it to meet Misplaced Pages's guidelines. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards, Jenn Salmorin Jenn Salmorin (talk) 04:24, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Jenn Salmorin, you claim to know the content of a deleted article that you cannot see, and you say we are currently in the process of editing the article to ensure it aligns with these standards. You have an obvious conflict of interest, please read independent verifiable sources (sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the person or an associated organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the person claims or interviewing them), the notability guidelines, promotion (articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews) and paid editing. I note that your supposed refs include an interview with him and his own magazine, how are these independent third-party sources as we require here? If any new version appears that is non-compliant with our rules, I'll delete it and consider blocking the creator. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:26, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
@JimfbleakThank you for your response, and I appreciate your dedication to maintaining Misplaced Pages’s high standards.
I’d like to clarify a few points regarding my involvement:
My Role: I am not the creator or editor of the deleted article. I represent Derek Warburton in a professional capacity and was made aware of the deletion by others. My intention in reaching out is to understand the concerns that led to the deletion and explore how the content might be improved or reinstated in line with Misplaced Pages’s guidelines.
Conflict of Interest: I fully acknowledge and respect Misplaced Pages’s Conflict of Interest (COI) policy. As Derek Warburton’s representative, my intention is not to edit or recreate the article myself but to ensure that accurate, verifiable, and neutral information is available to support its potential inclusion.
Sources and Compliance: I understand the need for independent, reliable third-party sources and neutrality. Derek Warburton has been covered by publications such as Forbes, Elle Canada, and Flaunt Magazine, which I believe meet these standards. If necessary, we are happy to provide a full list of these sources for your review.
My main objective is to ensure that any future article on Derek Warburton is fully compliant with Misplaced Pages’s policies. Could you advise on the best way to move forward?
I understand the importance of relying on independent, reliable third-party sources. Going forward, I will ensure that the team references only notable publications excluding interviews, press releases, or any sources affiliated with Derek Warburton or his organizations.
The primary goal is to ensure that any future article fully meets Misplaced Pages’s standards for neutrality and verifiability. I would greatly appreciate your guidance on how to proceed constructively. Would preparing a draft and submitting it through the Articles for Creation (AfC) process for community review be the appropriate next step? If there are other considerations or steps we should follow, I am happy to relay this to the team and ensure they are addressed.
I sincerely apologize if my initial outreach caused any misunderstanding about my intentions. I fully respect Misplaced Pages’s guidelines and your authority in this matter. My goal is to address the issue constructively and ensure compliance moving forward.
Thank you again for your time and insights. I look forward to your advice on how best to resolve this matter.
Best regards, Jenn Salmorin (talk) 07:06, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
Jenn Salmorin I'll post further guidance on your talk shortly Jimfbleak - talk to me? 08:58, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Request for Review of Deletion of Lindholm Misplaced Pages Page

Hi Jimfbleak,

Thanks for your review on my recently created page for Mr. Lindholm. Mr. Lindholm is a friend and I will disclose that COI moving forwards. Before I request recovery for the draft, I have some questions.

Would you be able to provide some clarification on why the page was deleted for U5: Misuse of Misplaced Pages as a web host? Mr. Lindholm is still alive and the purpose of the article is to provide additional context and information behind the development of graphic processing units, in particular the GeForce 256 hardware T&L and GeForce 3 shader units, as these technological advancements were key to modern GPUs. I included numerous citations and kept the tone of the article objective to avoid bias. Would you be able to let me know which sections were not objective and require updates or edits?

Your help is much appreciated as I'd like to ensure that any future article on Mr. Lindholm is compliant with Misplaced Pages policies.

Thanks! Bage4416 (talk) 16:36, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Merry Christmas!

Request for Review of Deletion of Guanghua Li Misplaced Pages Page

Hi Jimfbleak,

Thanks for your review on my recently created page for Guanghua Li.

Guanghua Li is a photographer, I like her children's pictures and that's the reason I create this page.

Would you be able to provide some clarification on why the page was deleted? The purpose of this entry is to introduce her briefly. There are many reports about her in Chinese. I already remove some personal description words and write it neutrally.

Your help is much appreciated as I'd like to ensure that any future article on Guanghua Li is compliant with Misplaced Pages policies.

Thanks. 数峰青 (talk) 15:08, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Follow up on ZKH Industrial Supply page

Hi Jimfbleak,
Thanks and well received the latest feedback. I will adjust the content accordingly.
Don't get me wrong. I don't want to create promotional content for the organisation, I just want to write some existing facts about the firm so that audience can have more visibility about the company when they search it. The company is a Chinese firm and has listed on NYSE since 2023. Currently most of third-parties (like news) are from local and not in english language, I wonder if that's acceptable if I use them in citation? And is there a minumum number of reference needed?
Besides reference issue, regarding the latest edits, are any other parts that I need to adjust my wording?
Thanks and looking forward to your feedback.
