G11. Unambiguous advertising or promotion

I accepted an article USC Eye Institute through AfC and my judgement may have been at fault in this instance. I am relatively inexperienced in working in AfC so I use the flowchart on this page to help me decide whether an article should be created. In this instance I decided the subject was notable and treated in an encyclopedic manner, was sufficiently neutral and well-enough sourced. Perhaps I was wrong. I did not consider the article wholly promotional and I did not and do not think it qualifies under "G11. Unambiguous advertising or promotion" for speedy deletion. However, when I saw that it had been tagged and was likely to be deleted, I felt an obligation to the creator to improve it and started working on it in my sandbox this morning. This was a good thing, because the article was deleted by you, some 10 hours after its creation, and by the time I came to replace the original version with my new version, it was gone. Perhaps you could look at my new version and see if you think it is acceptable, as my judgement in this matter is obviously flawed! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:00, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your help in resolving this matter. Jytdog is pleased too. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:58, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I've just recreated and reworked the start of the article, so hope you will bear with me for a while. The bio is of an Indian composer important for Indian cinema. Thanks. Kaayay (talk) 12:12, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

You blocked them for their username only. What about their promo (but deleted) user page? —George8211 / T 14:01, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Ok that makes sense. —George8211 / T 10:47, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi Jim, I hope you are fine there. Here are two pages Vikkstar123 (About youtube video uploader/user, Only his/her youtube username is being discussed in page to get publicize) and other is Rahima Miriam Hayes attack page about person. Both are speedy --A.Minkowiski 13:40, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Deletion of People for Education draft page

Hello

re. ]

We noticed that this draft page has been deleted for copyright infringement of http://ckc.torontofoundation.ca/org/people-education. The part that we have been accused of infringing upon is our own mission statement, as posted on the website of a partner organization. It will be the same as that page, as it is, word for word, our own work. Please let me know how we can have this restored, or what I would have to show you to prove that this is not a case of copyright infringement.

Regards,

What else do I need for this page not to be deleted? I am linked to about 6 or 7 wiki pages already with the same quotes, not understanding why this is going to be deleted.

When I go to create a new account it notes that I already have an account, when I go to login it notes that I do not exist. THis is frustrating.

Recreation of a deleted article

Hi, just a quick note to let you know that Wetrekkers was recreated 10 minutes after you deleted it. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 07:21, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Again. —George8211 / T 07:30, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Heads up to User:Tanmay shaw007/sandbox, but they're blocked now thankfully. —George8211 / T 07:37, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Brijendra_Pratap_Singh

Hey Jim,This is regarding your request for speedy deletion of page https://en.wikipedia.org/Brijendra_Pratap_Singh. I request you to suggest suitable change for the article rather deleting it. This really needs to be at Wiki as the person has fought for Women empowerment in delhi when a girl was brutally raped . Being technical, the article might look promotional but objective is very clear that the initiative has to be in mind of Indian youth. the page is not created by him, his E-Mail id is smile.brijendra@gmail.com but the page was created by some other id. I request you to suggest." 07:26, 20 February 2015 (UTC)Seasand513 (talk)

Rocket Internet

Hi Jimfbleak, this is David from Rocket Internet (https://en.wikipedia.org/User:David_Rocket_Internet). We are very surprised by the deletion of the ‘Rocket Internet’ Misplaced Pages article that you initiated. I am aware of the fact that any advertising or promotion does not belong on Misplaced Pages. Therefore, and in order to make sure that we can provide useful information on the basis of facts, we as a company decided to create an account highlighting our changes to the article on ‘Rocket Internet’ transparently. As you can see from the article’s view history, our previous changes included necessary updates for which we provided reliable sources. We do not understand the abrupt deletion of the article without any prior feedback and think that this is a shame given the broad discussion channels that Misplaced Pages provides. We started to modify certain paragraphs only some weeks ago and tried to keep as much of the original content created by the Misplaced Pages community as possible.

We would be happy if you were to undo the deletion or at least provide some further comments on your reasoning. Please be so kind as to let us know which paragraphs should be edited in order to reinstate the English language ‘Rocket Internet’ Misplaced Pages article.

Best regards and thanks, David from Rocket Internet (david.zahn@rocket-internet.com) David Rocket Internet (talk) 16:57, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Deleted Article Young Chef Olympiad.

Hi,

How can I prove that I am authorized to use the text from ycolympiad.com/details? I have not violated copyrights as I have written the original text on the website. Will be kind of you to let me know what evidence can I produce?

Also, can you mail me or by some other mean give me the draft back with all the formatting? I made a blunder of not keeping a backup.

Thanks, Gaurabwiki (talk) 04:36, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

Carl Jackson Entertainment

Why are you deleting a page that has been up for 4 years? We made all the changes to Carl Jackson Entertainment and you falsely deleted the page. Unambiguous advertising or promotion: no independent sources, no evidence of notability is simply not true. You should try google next time before making such an assessment. And If you delete Carl Jackson Entertainment studio you have to delete Freesyle Releasing and Magnet releasing. https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Magnolia_Pictures&redirect=no ...At best you could have redirected the page or asked for more references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sarahent (talk • contribs) 06:59, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

Carl Jackson Entertainment

A group of editors known as “deletionists” are said to “edit first and ask questions later,” making it harder for new contributors to participate, and making it harder for Misplaced Pages—which, again, aspires to provide “the sum of all human knowledge”—to overcome the issue that it is controlled by a stagnant pool of editors from a limited demographic.

2. Accurate contributors can be silenced. Deletionists on Misplaced Pages often rely on the argument that a contribution comes from an “unreliable source,” with the editor deciding what is reliable. An incident last year showed the degree to which editors at the very top of Misplaced Pages were willing to rely on this crutch when it suits their purpose.

When the Taliban kidnapped New York Times reporter David Rohde in Afghanistan, the paper convinced 40 media organizations plus Misplaced Pages not to report on it out of concerns that it would compromise Rohde's safety. Misplaced Pages co-founder Jimmy Wales told the Times, once Rohde was free, that “We were really helped by the fact that it (postings on Rohde) hadn’t appeared in a place we would regard as a reliable source.” Thus, Wales and other senior Misplaced Pages editors showed they were willing to rely on the “unreliable source” canard to delete information they had been told by a very reliable source was true, even when a more noble reason—Rohde’s safety—would have justified it.

And finally, the number one reason you can't cite or rely on Misplaced Pages:

1. It says so on Misplaced Pages. Misplaced Pages says, “We do not expect you to trust us.” It adds that it is “not a primary source” and that “because some articles may contain errors,” you should “not use Misplaced Pages to make critical decisions.”

Furthermore, as Misplaced Pages notes in its “About” section, “Users should be aware that not all articles are of encyclopedic quality from the start: they may contain false or debatable information.”

Dr. Otto Peters

I am doing an assignment, getting to know the creation process at the same time, spent hours on it to see it was deleted. What can i do to get it restored? Nickesha Senior (talk) 07:54, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

Thank you very much i am going to see how i can improve it and add sources to it. It might be there for a few hours but i will be coming back to do the edit as soon as i am off work. Nickesha Senior (talk) 14:31, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

I really need some help with this wiki page please help me. I am thinking to use a timeline for some of the info how do i put this in? Nickesha Senior (talk) 15:07, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) The problem with the article is the wording is too close to Peters's bio on the web (). Even if it's not a verbatim copy, it's pretty similar, and the little bit of rewording you did doesn't appear to cure that problem. We don't restore articles that violate copyright. I've deleted your sandbox for the same reason. I don't know where this "assignment" stems from, but, regardless, school assignments cannot trump our policies.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:00, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

Deletion of page Naeem "Nick" Noorani

NickNoorani (talk) 16:48, 21 February 2015 (UTC) Hello Jim,

I noticed my page had been deleted in December. The reason has been cited as (G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion). Reading that particular section it says" If a subject is notable and the content can be replaced with text that complies with neutral point of view, this is preferable to deletion." I do believe my work in the immigration and multicultural space does warrant a Wiki page. I would be happy to comply with any specific aspects that do not meet the Misplaced Pages standards. I would really appreciate if you could kindly do so thereby helping me get the page back up. Thank you, Nick Noorani

OBND Page

Hi, why did you delete my page? I'm pretty sure it deserved its own page. I wasn't advertising anything. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AahdTahar (talk • contribs) 03:11, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

Draft:Welshentag1 (Distinktion journal article)

Hi Jimfbleak! Thanks for the contact. Please do supply me with the information and recommendations that you indicated on my Talkpage regarding my rubbish entry on Distinktion. I take the criticism. I suppose I was complacent and was seduced a little by the routine and perfunctory nature of the entry (an article on an academic journal). I await your instruction.
