His name is already mentioned in this Misplaced Pages article: ]. ] (]) 12:12, 18 August 2024 (UTC)


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."
Why was ] deleted when it was submitted for review. If it was written as advert, the best option wasn't it to be rejected and tagged as advert so that it can be worked on? Why delete it why still a draft. ] (]) 11:03, 18 August 2024 (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. ()
:{{u|BigSteeze}}, in this case, if you take out the obvious promo, what's left is basically "this is an EP from a ] (no Misplaced Pages article) musician". Your sources include sites that are not ], like Spotify and Bellanaija. You also make several claims that your refs don't confirm anyway, such as "received favourable reviews from critics, and topped charts In UK, US, Netherlands". Why isn't the Apple chart sourced to Apple? My judgement was that ''if'' this song is notable, it needs rewriting from scratch. Also, if you have a ], you '''must''' disclose the nature of that COI. ] - ] 12:47, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
* '''Elle Canada''': Featured for promoting international emerging designers. ()
::@] There are album articles been written without the artist been on Misplaced Pages like ] by Alpha P, which is not an artist on Misplaced Pages. Maffian EP did debut on US, UK and other countries here which I didn't remember to add the source. Now you shouldn't have deleted the page since it's still a draft and submitted for review, you should have declined it at least and point out the issue so that I could work on it. There is no ], I'm only working on the article because I think it's notable. ] (]) 13:41, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
* '''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.
:::{{u|BigSteeze}} The fact that other articles have not been deleted doesn't help you, either they met the criteria or should be deleted as well. See ]. Also ''I think it's notable'' isn't the same as our ]. If you think that you can write something that demonstrates why it meets those criteria, with proper refs for all the claims, I'll sandbox the text for you, just let me know ] - ] 13:49, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

:::::@] If sandbox is the option. I will like continue working on it. I believe that the article is notable. ] (]) 14:17, 18 August 2024 (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.

== Sock farm ==
Hi Jimfbleak,


Never had this many socks in my life, imagine the shock Santa's getting from seeing this many :)
When I submitted my draft for the book World on the Brink, I was assured that if it was not up to standards, I would receive constructive criticism on how to improve it. Instead, you deleted it, saying it is "just a book review." You may also recall that I originally posted a longer draft article, which you deleted because you thought I have a conflict of interest (I don't). I submitted the shorter version in order to remove anything even approaching an opinion about the book.


]
I would like to respectfully ask you how I should approach summarizing a book that I read and liked, and that is important to U.S. foreign policy, in such a way that you or others will not delete it. This is my first draft article and I would like to do more, but obviously I don't want them to be deleted. Please teach me.

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 ]'':'' ]?

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?

Hi Jimfbleak, Hi Jimfbleak,


Thanks for your review on my recently created page for Guanghua Li.
I know you were the last one to delete my article so I'm replying to you directly but hope Jéské Couriano reviews my re-submission . It was after multiple attempts with different editors, that Jéské Couriano told me the following "@Guy Zapoleon: You need to actually cite your sources, sticking to what those published sources explicitly say. The problem isn't a lack of sources, the problem is you aren't citing them and are expecting us (and by extension the readers) to accept what the article says on faith. We do not operate that way. —Jéské Couriano" I've hopefully done so in my latest submission which I'll be posting shortly I'm working hard to make my submission acceptable to Misplaced Pages and your rules.

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.

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.

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.
